Paul Blair, who hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning, came through again in the ninth with a double that scored Ken Singleton and gave the Orioles a 5-4 victory over the Brewers. Singleton hit his second double of the game before Blair's winning hit. After Blair's round-tripper put the Orioles ahead, 4-1, George Scott homered for the Brewers in the eighth.

When Hank Aaron followed with a single, manager Earl Weaver of the Orioles removed Jim Palmer and brought in Dyar Miller, but the reliever failed to hold the 4-2 lead and cost Palmer his 22nd victory. In the ninth, Charlie Moore singled, Darrell Porter walked and, after a sacrifice by Bob Sheldon, the Brewers counted the tying pair on a sacrifice fly by Robin Yount and single by Scott.
