The Orioles came from behind with two runs in the 10th inning to defeat the Brewers, 8-7. The Brewers built up a 6-1 lead behind homers by Pedro Garcia, his first in the major leagues, and Dave May before Merv Rettenmund narrowed the gap with a three-run smash in the seventh. Rettenmund then doubled in the ninth and scored the tying run on a single by Boog Powell. May hit his second homer of game to put the Brewers ahead again in 10th.
