Reliever Bob McClure walked Pat Kelly with the bases full to hand the Orioles a 6-5 victory over the Brewers in 10 innings. Ken Singleton's double, Lee May's single and an intentional pass to Eddie Murray set the stage for Kelly, who had extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a home run that created a 5-5 tie in the eighth.
