Snapping a four-game losing streak, the Orioles edged the Brewers, 3-2. The Birds trailed, 2-1, in the eighth when pinch-hitter Terry Crowley doubled and was replaced by pinch-runner Billy Smith. A single by Al Bumbry moved Smith to third and both runners scored when Rich Dauer doubled down the left field line. [The Sporting News]
