Getting all their runs in the first three innings, the Brewers held on to capture a 7-5 verdict from the Orioles. After Sal Bando homered in the second, Sixto Lezcano walked and scored on singles by Dick Davis and Robin Yount. A double by Gorman Thomas drove in Davis.

Replacing Mike Flanagan, Nelson Briles walked Paul Molitor intentionally to load the sacks. Bando delivered a two-run single. Larry Hisle then drove in the fifth marker of the inning with a single. Yount hit a homer in the third. Ken Singleton batted in three runs for the Orioles. [The Sporting News]
