Although needing relief help from Don Stanhouse, Mike Flanagan received credit for his 19th victory -- tops in the majors -- as the Orioles edged the Twins, 5-4. The Orioles trailed, 2-1, entering the seventh, but went ahead on a leadoff walk to Lee May, double by Gary Roenicke and single by Rich Dauer that scored both runners. Singles by Rick Dempsey, Kiko Garcia and Ken Singleton then produced two more runs. [The Sporting News]
