Although held to six hits, the Orioles profited from homers by Ken Singleton and Eddie Murray to defeat the Mariners, 5-2. Singleton hit his 20th of the season in the first inning, matching his total for 1978. The Orioles added a pair in the second on a pass to John Lowenstein, double by Doug DeCinces, single by Pat Kelly and sacrifice fly by Rich Dauer. Murray then provided two extra runs with his homer following a single by Kiko Garcia in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
