After Dan Graham homered in the seventh inning to tie the score, Ken Singleton drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single to send the Orioles on their way to a 7-3 victory over the Tigers. Following Graham's blow, Doug DeCinces doubled, Mark Belanger beat out an infield hit and Al Bumbry bunted safely to set the stage for Singleton. A triple by Bumbry drove in two runs in the eighth and iced the decision. [The Sporting News]
