Rookie shortstop Ed Romero, playing in his second game since being called up from Holyoke (Eastern) to replace injured Robin Yount, stroked three hits and drove in the deciding run in the Brewers' 3-2 victory over the Orioles. Moose Haas, pitching for the Brewers, allowed only three hits before being lifted in the ninth inning when the Orioles rallied for their two runs. [The Sporting News]
