Winning their sixth straight game and dealing Oakland its fifth consecutive loss, the Orioles defeated the A's, 5-1, behind the three-hit pitching of Scott McGregor. The Birds tallied twice in the second inning on a two-run single by Mark Belanger, and twice in the seventh on a two-run double by Ken Singleton. Baltimore's final run came in the eighth on a run-scoring single by Doug DeCinces. An argument in the seventh inning over a foul tip call caused both managers to play the game under protest.
