A pinch-single by John Lowenstein, driving in two runs in the eighth inning, brought the Orioles a 3-2 victory over the Twins. Doug Corbett in relief of Roger Erickson appeared to have stopped the Orioles when Dan Graham lined into a double play. But with Eddie Murray on base, Corbett passed Gary Roenicke and Terry Crowley to fill the sacks before Lowenstein singled as the pinch-hitter for Mark Belanger. [The Sporting News]
