Boog Powell collected four hits in four trips, including a homer, and drove in all of the Orioles' runs in a 4-2 victory over the Brewers. Singles by Paul Blair, Bobby Grich and Powell produced the initial tally in the first inning. Then, in the third, after Don Buford beat out a bunt and Blair walked, Powell smashed his homer.
