Three homers helped the Orioles emerge with a 7-6 victory over the Brewers. Frank Robinson and Boog Powell hit consecutive homers to tie the score at 2-2 in the fourth inning. After adding a run in the fifth, the Orioles erupted for four in the eighth, two scoring on a round-tripper by Merv Rettenmund. The Brewers then fell short with a four-run rally in their half, three scoring on a pinch-homer by Phil Roof. [The Sporting News]
