Cy Young winner Mike Flanagan scattered seven hits as the Orioles shaded the Royals, 2-1. The score was 1-1 going into the bottom of the seventh inning when Rick Dempsey stoked a leadoff single and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Mark Belanger. After Al Bumbry was safe on an infield hit, Dempsey scored on a single to center by Rich Dauer. [The Sporting News]
