. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Brewers, getting solo homers in the first, second and third frames from Dave May, Bobby Mitchell and Johnny Briggs, edged past the Orioles into first place in the East Division by beating Baltimore, 9-4. May opened the game with a homer off loser Ross Grimsley. After the Orioles tied the score in the first, Mitchell homered in the second. Briggs followed with his sixth of the year in the third to extend his hitting streak through 15 games. Milwaukee stretched the lead to 5-1 in the fourth on run-producing singles by Darrell Porter and Robin Yount and added single runs off reliever Doyle Alexander in the seventh and eighth. Boog Powell homered for Baltimore in the sixth, his first round-tripper since last September. [The Sporting News]
