The Orioles averted falling into last place in the A.L. East by beating the Mariners, 9-3. The Birds broke a 3-3 tie with a four-run sixth inning as Kiko Garcia doubled home two runs and Rick Dempsey and Rich Dauer each drove in a tally during the outburst. The Orioles' final two runs came in the eighth on a bases-loaded single by Doug DeCinces. Sammy Stewart scattered nine singles in going the distance. [The Sporting News]
