Ending his personal three-game losing streak, Dave McNally yielded only three hits and pitched the Orioles to a 3-2 victory over the Angels, who were stopped on a five-game winning streak. The Orioles took a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning with two unearned runs resulting from an error by Leo Cardenas and added what proved to be their deciding tally in the eighth when Boog Powell doubled and Rich Coggins, running for him, scored on a single by Andy Etchebarren. Leroy Stanton homered in the Angels' half of the eighth. [The Sporting News]
