Snapping his personal four-game losing streak, Scott McGregor pitched the Orioles to a 5-1 victory over the Twins. Doug DeCinces knocked in three runs with a double and single. In the fifth, DeCinces' double accounted for two runs in an inning that saw the Orioles score four times with the aid of other doubles by Mark Belanger and Eddie Murray. [The Sporting News]
