Dave McNally registered his third victory of the season, all via the shutout route, and Boog Powell led the way at bat as the Orioles defeated the White Sox, 3-0. Powell homered with a man on base in the first inning and then doubled and scored on a single by Paul Blair in the third. [The Sporting News]
