The Orioles hit the ball before a Ball Day crowd of 21,897, getting two homers from Don Baylor and one from Merv Rettenmund to defeat the Brewers, 5-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Pat Dobson. Rettenmund connected with two men on base in the third inning and Baylor accounted for the last two tallies with drives in the sixth and eighth. [The Sporting News]
