While Doyle Alexander pitched a four-hitter, the Orioles piled up 14 hits and defeated the Brewers, 9-1, to pull within five games of the Red Sox in the East Division race. The Orioles erupted for four runs in the third inning, added another on a homer by Bobby Grich in the sixth and capped their scoring with four runs in the eighth, including a round-tripper by Dave Duncan with two men on base. Don Money hit a homer for the Brewers' lone tally. [The Sporting News]
