The Orioles downed the Brewers, 5-2, behind the five-hit pitching of Rudy May. Mark Belanger walked, stole second and scored the deciding run in the third inning on a single by Billy Smith, who hit a solo homer in the first. Lee May's two-run homer in the fourth was his seventh round-tripper in eight games. [The Sporting News]
