A pair of homers lifted the Orioles to a 2-1 victory over the Tigers. Larry Harlow clouted a round-tripper in the third inning and Lee May broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth with a belt over the left field fence. The Tigers' lone tally came on a homer by Lance Parrish in the seventh frame. Scott McGregor pitched his third straight complete game. [The Sporting News]
