A three-run homer by Benny Ayala was the big blow as the Orioles prevailed over the Twins, 4-2. Ayala's circuit clout came in the second inning after a rain delay of 81 minutes and delivered Ken Singleton, who had opened the frame with a walk, and Gary Roenicke, on base via a bunt single. Roenicke stroked an RBI single in the third inning. [The Sporting News]
