Yielding only two hits, Mike Cuellar pitched the Orioles to a 4-0 victory over the Royals. Steve Busby matched Cuellar in a scoreless duel until the seventh inning when Bobby Grich knocked in two runs with a double and crossed the plate himself on a single by Ken Singleton. Don Baylor homered for the other run in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
