A five-hit duel between Scott McGregor and Jim Barr was decided when Rich Dauer batted in a run with a single in the seventh inning to give the Orioles a 2-1 victory over the Angels. The game's initial runs were produced in the fourth when Carney Lansford homered for the Angels and Ken Singleton for the Orioles. In the seventh, Gary Roenicke singled with two out and Lee May walked ahead of Dauer's winning hit. [The Sporting News]
