Darrell Porter's three-run double in the first inning sent the Brewers off winging to a 5-3 victory over the Orioles. The locals had loaded the bases on singles by Dave May and George Scott and an error by shortstop Mark Belanger on Johnny Briggs' grounder. The Brewers picked up another unearned run in the fourth and completed their scoring on May's RBI single in the fifth. The Orioles' tallies came in the sixth when Brooks Robinson drove in two runs with a single and Don Baylor scored on a wild pitch. [The Sporting News]
