Driving in four runs with a homer and two singles, Eddie Murray led the Orioles to a 7-2 victory over the Twins. The first baseman put the Orioles in front in the first inning with a two-run round-tripper and hit a run-scoring single in the third frame. Benny Ayala stroked a sacrifice fly in the same frame. Murray picked up his fourth RBI in the fifth with another single. [The Sporting News]
