Pushing across two runs in the eighth inning against winless reliever Mike Marshall, the Orioles posted an 8-6 decision over the Twins. With the score 6-6, Al Bumbry led off the Baltimore eighth with a base on balls. Mark Belanger laid down a bunt and third baseman John Castino threw wide of second, allowing Bumbry to reach third. Ken Singleton then grounded to short, delivering the run. [The Sporting News]
