A pair of homers by Doug DeCinces and a two-run double by Pat Kelly powered the Orioles to a 5-3 victory over the Blue Jays. DeCinces' first round-tripper came in the fourth inning with Eddie Murray aboard on a walk. His second blast was a solo shot in the eighth. Kelly's double came in the fifth and scored Larry Harlow, who had doubled, and Mark Belanger who had walked. [The Sporting News]
