Posting his third shutout of the season, Jim Palmer yielded only four hits and pitched the Orioles to a 6-0 victory over the Brewers. The Orioles rapped Jim Colborn for three runs in the third inning. Al Bumbry and Paul Blair singled. Boog Powell drove them home with a double and scored himself on a single by Earl Williams. Singles by Rich Coggins, Blair and Tommy Davis accounted for another run in the fifth. Then, after Williams singled to load the bases, Bobby Grich singled to drive in the final two tallies.
