Reggie Jackson tied an A. L. record by hitting his sixth homer in six consecutive games, but the Orioles nevertheless lost to the Brewers, 4-3, in 13 innings. Lee May also homered for the Orioles, while Don Money hit one for the Brewers.

With the score tied, 2-2, George Scott drew a walk in the 13th and scored on a single by Darrell Porter and double by Bill Sharp. Gorman Thomas then made it 4-2 in favor of the Brewers by driving in Porter with an infield out and that run proved decisive because Jackson hit his record-tying homer in the Orioles' half.
