Although the Orioles were held to only five hits, their blows off Lary Sorensen included a pair of two-run homers by Lee May and Ken Singleton in a 5-0 victory over the Brewers. Rudy May, who posted his third shutout of the season, allowed seven hits. May hit his homer following a pass to Eddie Murray in the second inning. Pat Kelly singled ahead of Singleton's smash in the ninth. The in-between run counted in the fourth on a double by Kelly and a pair of infield outs. [The Sporting News]
