Taking advantage of three Oakland errors, the Orioles defeated the A's, 7-1, as Scott McGregor pitched a three-hitter for eight innings. The Birds scored in the fourth inning when Rich Dauer, who had reached base safely when Dwayne Murphy dropped his fly ball, came in on a sacrifice fly by ken Singleton. The Orioles added two tallies in the fifth when catcher Jeff Newman threw the ball wildly past first attempting to compete a double play after a forceout at home. [The Sporting News]
