A four-run third inning carried the Orioles past the Brewers, 6-2, and provided Ross Grimsley with his 12th victory, although he needed relief help from Bob Reynolds in the ninth. Enos Cabell's single, Paul Blair's triple, a wild throw by losing pitcher Clyde Wright, walk, double by Don Baylor and wild pitch by Wright accounted for a quartet of Baltimore runs in the third.

Doubles by George Scott and Charlie Moore got the Brewers on the board in the fifth, but Mark Belanger drove in two more for the Orioles in the eighth with a bases-loaded single. Grimsley was relieved in the ninth after giving up a leadoff homer to Johnny Briggs, his 17th of the season. [The Sporting News]
