The Orioles, who won the first game, 2-1, with a two-out homer by Terry Crowley in the ninth inning, completed the sweep of a twi-night doubleheader by defeating the Brewers in the second game, 8-0, behind the two-hit pitching of Doyle Alexander. Ollie Brown homered in the second inning for the Brewers' run in the lidlifter. The Orioles tied the score in the eighth when Davey Johnson doubled, Mark Belanger sacrificed and Tommy Davis delivered a single as a pinch-hitter for Dave McNally. Eddie Watt then was the winner on Crowley's clout off Jim Lonborg.

Davis started the second game at first base for the Orioles and collected four straight hits. Don Baylor and Johnson rapped homers. [The Sporting News]
