Reggie Jackson hit his first homer in an Orioles' uniform, connecting with the bases loaded in the sixth inning, to take an important part in an 8-6 victory over the Brewers. The Orioles, who were trailing, 6-2, opened the sixth by filling the sacks with singles by Dave Duncan and Al Bumbry around a pass to Doug DeCinces.

Mark Belanger singled for one run. Jerry Augustine then relieved Jim Slaton and was the victim of Jackson's grand slam that put the Orioles ahead. Lee May followed with another homer on Augustine's next pitch for an insurance run. [The Sporting News]
