Hitting safely in his 16th straight game, Davey Johnson batted in two runs with a single in the third inning and two more with a double in the eighth to lead the Orioles to a 6-2 victory over the Athletics. Dave McNally, who boosted his record to 4-0, gave up the A's runs in the fourth when Angel Mangual hit his first major league homer after a double by Tommy Davis. [The Sporting News]
