Two Steps Might Cost Palmer No Hitter
Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer allowed only one hit in a 2-0 win over the Twins. A grounder near second base by Mike Cubbage that eluded Hobby Grich sparked debate as Grich said he would have dived if he had moved two steps. Mark Belanger and Doug DeCinces made key plays defensively. Palmer earned his 15th win, the AL lead.

He has 10 homers in 91 games this year and 59 RBIs, with teammates Foster and Morgan providing most of the power.
