The A's snapped their seven-game losing streak with a 7-1 triumph over the Orioles. A homer by Dwayne Murphy gave the A's a 1-0 lead in the first inning and consecutive singles by Jeff Newman, Mike Heath, Dave McKay and Rob Picciolo made it 3-0 in the fourth. Tony Armas led off the seventh with his 29th round-tripper of the season. [The Sporting News]
