. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Brewers snapped their five-game losing streak by rapping five extra-base blows among their 10 hits, including a decisive homer by Danny Walton, to defeat the Orioles, 6-4. After a double by Ted Kubiak and single by Roberto Pena accounted for the first run in the second inning, Tommy Harper walked in the third, stole two bases and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ted Savage. Walton then doubled and Jerry McNertney tripled for another run. Harper doubled in the sixth and scored on a single by Savage. Walton followed with his winning homer. [The Sporting News]
