Homers by Eddie Murray in the fourth inning and Gary Roenicke in the seventh carried the Orioles to a 2-1 victory over the Red Sox, whose only run came on a circuit clout by Jim Rice. Carl Yastrzemski rapped three singles to boost the Red Sox superstar's career total to 2,998. He also moved into 12th place, ahead of Ted Williams, on the major leagues' all-time list for total bases with 4,885. [The Sporting News]
