After losing their first five games on the road, the Orioles opened at home before a crowd of 36,086 and posted a 6-5 victory to snap the Brewers' five-game winning streak. The Brewers jumped off with a two-run single by Paul Molitor and two-run homer by Don Money in the third inning, but the Orioles, taking advantage of two errors, scored five times in their half, with a single by Lee May accounting for two RBIs. Ken Singleton then batted in what proved to be the Orioles' deciding run with a single in the seventh before Cecil Cooper homered for the Brewers in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
