Orioles Drop 4-1 Decision to Twins
Minnesota Twins right-hander Bert Blyleven pitched a good game against the Baltimore Orioles at Memorial Stadium, leading his team to victory, 4-1. The Twins keep rolling, raising their record to 15-9.

Minnesota took a 4-1 lead on Rusty Torres's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Baltimore pitcher Jim Hardin in the top of the ninth.

"You score one run, you're not going to win," said Baltimore skipper John Fitzgerald. "You can have three Koufaxes and three Drysdales, you're still not going to win."
