Dan Graham drove in three runs with a single and two sacrifice flies to give him 13 RBIs in three games against the Twins, his former club, sparking the Orioles to an 8-7 victory. Ken Singleton had four singles and drove in two tallies. After a single by Graham tied the game at 3-3 in the third inning, Singleton's single in the fourth scored Rich Dauer to put the Orioles ahead to stay. [The Sporting News]
