Dave McNally, who helped himself to his 21st victory with a three-run double, pitched the Orioles past the Brewers, 6-1. Don Buford stole home for the Orioles' initial run in the first inning. McNally collected his RBIs in the second after a single by Brooks Robinson, double by Davey Johnson and pass to Mark Belanger had loaded the bases. Merv Rettenmund rapped a homer in the sixth. The Brewers' run in the eighth was unearned on a two-base error by Belanger and a single by Tommy Harper. [The Sporting News]
