Bill Spiers was instrumental in his team's 6-5 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The second baseman went 3-4 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs for the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore, now 6-2, is setting the league on fire so far.

Kenny Lofton had a key at-bat with one out in the bottom of the fifth for Baltimore. With a runner on 3rd and the Orioles leading 5-4, he hit a sacrifice fly.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Spiers told the Baltimore Chronicle.
