The Indians ended their 10-game losing streak by beating the Orioles, 6-3. Ron Hassey led the Tribe's attack with a single and double, good for three RBIs. In the second inning, a single by Toby Harrah, double by Mike Hargrove and single by Hassey produced the first two runs. Hassey doubled home a pair in the fourth after a double by Harrah, walk to Hargrove and a forceout. Andre Thornton blasted a homer in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
