. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Tommy Davis hit his second grand-slam homer against the Brewers in six days as the Orioles swept a twi-night doubleheader, 6-4 and 3-1. Davis, whose bases-loaded drive helped beat the Brewers July 27 in Milwaukee, came to the plate in the fifth inning of the opener with the Orioles leading, 1-0, and hammered his homer off Bill Champion to score behind Elrod Hendricks and Brooks Robinson, who had singled, and Ken Singleton, who had walked. The Brewers chased Jim Palmer in the sixth, erupting for four runs, including two on a pinch-single by Hank Aaron, but Wayne Garland saved the Orioles' victory, allowing only one hit in the last 3 1/3 innings.

In the nightcap, the Orioles broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh when Singleton singled and scored on a double by Jim Northrup. Paul Blair then came in to run for Northrup and later stole home to add an insurance marker. [The Sporting News]
