Aided by half a dozen infield defensive gems, Scott McGregor pitched the Orioles to a 6-0 whitewashing of the White Sox for his first victory of the season. The first Bird run came in the third inning on a double by Rich Dauer and triple by Kiko Garcia. The Orioles picked up three more tallies in the fifth on a two-run single by Ken Singleton and a passed ball. Al Bumbry knocked in two runs with a pinch-single in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
