George Scott's two-run homer in the eighth, the third round-tripper of the game by the Brewers, snapped a tie and gave Milwaukee a 5-3 decision over the Orioles, who dropped their fourth straight. Scott drove in the winners' first run in the second with a sacrifice fly following a walk to Johnny Briggs and two wild pitches by Birds' rookie hurler Jesse Jefferson. Darrell Porter followed with a solo homer.

A double by Boog Powell, two walks by Jerry Bell and Mark Belanger's two-run single tied the score in the bottom of the same frame. A single by Rich Coggins, a wild pitch and single by Tommy Davis made it 3-2 Orioles in the third. The Brewers' Pedro Garcia tied the score in the fifth with a bases-empty homer.
