Orioles Prove Rude Guests, Win 8-4 at Seattle
The Baltimore Orioles beat the Seattle Pilots, 8-4, at Kingdome. The win was largely due to the efforts of third baseman Kelly Gruber, who captured player of the game honors. He went 4-4 with 4 singles and a walk. The Pilots fall to 12-18 and continue to sputter in the early going.

In the top of the first, Lyle Mouton jumped on a curveball from Cliff Brantley and hit a 2-run single. It gave Baltimore a quick 2-0 lead.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Mouton told the Baltimore Chronicle.
