The Orioles, who had a chance to pick up ground in the East Division race, remained 2½ games off the pace when they failed to take full advantage of 10 hits off Jim Lonborg and lost to the Brewers, 2-1. The Brewers, who collected only four hits, scored a run off Dave McNally in the first inning on a walk to Johnny Briggs, sacrifice by Ollie Brown and single by Mike Ferraro.
