Lenn Sakata rapped two homers and Jim Palmer pitched a five-hitter as the Orioles captured an 8-2 decision from the Brewers. Sakata ignited a four-run first inning with a solo shot and added a three-run blast in the third. Eddie Murray drilled a two-run homer in the first. Palmer went the route for the first time since May 25. [The Sporting News] |
