Fire officials said the blaze just west of the California line was fully contained at 6 p.m. Saturday. The fire that broke out Monday had sent up a huge smoke plume that could be seen around Reno, and prompted health officials to urge residents to refrain from outdoor exercise. “Drift smoke is still possi- ble” until the fire is extin- guished, fire spokesman Franklin Pemberton said Saturday. “People with health concerns, the elderly and chil- dren may want to stay indoors and avoid the smoke.” It was unknown when the fire would be extinguished, he added. The fire had blackened 789 acres of U.S. Forest Service and private lands, but caused no damage to homes or evac- uations. I-80 — the main route between northern Nevada and California — remained open, though one lane was periodi- cally closed for firefighters. “We don’t anticipate any (travel) problems, but we want people to be aware there is a fire in the area,” said fire spokesman Dick Birger.

By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer BALTIMORE — For the first time in two weeks, the Baltimore Orioles expe- rienced the pleasure of a blowout victo- ry. Brian Roberts had three hits and three RBIs, Miguel Tejada had three hits and a homer, and the Orioles cruised past the Oakland Athletics 8-3 Saturday night. Ten of Baltimore’s previous 11 games were decided by two runs or fewer; the exception was a 5-2 win over Toronto. The Orioles were 3-8 over that span. “I don’t think a manager ever gets real comfortable. I think you’re always looking for what-ifs,” manager Sam Perlozzo said. “But it was nice to see our guys swing the bats like we thought we were capable of. We had a lot of two-out hits, which is another good sign. It’s a start, hopefully something we can build on.”
