The Orioles, after winning the first game of a doubleheader, 7-4, made a sensational rally in the second game, scoring six runs to tie the score in the ninth inning before capping a five-run explosion in the 10th with a grand-slam homer by Tommy Davis to beat the Brewers, 11-6. Don Baylor and Bobby Grich combined for seven hits, batting in five runs between them, in the opener. Grich's four hits included a homer. Brewers' runs counted on round-trippers by Mike Hegan, Darrell Porter and Gorman Thomas. With the score tied, 4-4, Lee May and Grich singled in the sixth inning and both came home on a double by Baylor to decide the outcome.

The Brewers had three more homers in the nightcap, this time by Robin Yount, Don Money and George Scott, in taking a 6-0 lead before the Orioles rallied in the ninth. Grich walked and Elrod Hendricks singled, leading to the exit of Tom Hausman. Tom Murphy, in relief, failed to retire a batter. Doug DeCinces tripled for two runs and counted himself on a single by Tony Muser. After Ken Singleton also singled, Al Bumbry hit a three-run homer to tie the score. In 10th, Grich and DeCinces drew walks from Rick Austin, but two were out when Singleton singled to drive in the tie-breaking tally. Baylor then walked to load the bases and set the stage for Davis' clinching grand slam. [The Sporting News]
