Scott McGregor allowed only three hits and shut out the Angels, 5-0, enabling the Orioles to move back within 1½ games of the Yankees in the East Division race. Ken Singleton homered for the first run in the Orioles' support of McGregor, who set a career high for victories, winning for the 16th time this season. [The Sporting News]
