Led by George Scott, who drove in two runs with a pair of singles, the Brewers defeated the Orioles, 4-2. The Orioles held a 2-1 lead before the Brewers pushed the tying and leading tallies across the plate in the fifth inning on a double by Von Joshua, single by Jack Heidemann, grounder by Robin Yount and single by Scott. Hitting his second single in the seventh, Scott batted in the Brewers' insurance marker. [The Sporting News]
