Jeff Burroughs drove in four runs with a pair of bases-loaded singles and Julio Cruz tied an A.L. record with his 32nd consecutive stolen base as the Mariners whipped the Orioles, 8-2. Cruz began the Mariners' four-run first inning with a single and swiped second, tying the record set by the Royals' Willie Wilson last year. Cruz scored on a single by Bruce Bochte.

After the bases were filled, Burroughs knocked in two runs with a single and Jerry Narron drove in the fourth run with a grounder. Tom Paciorek cracked a two-run homer in the second. [The Sporting News]
