The surging Orioles posted their 19th victory in the last 21 games, beating the Brewers, 8-5. The score was 1-1 when the Orioles scored five runs after two were out in the fifth inning. Singles by Billy Smith and Mark Belanger and a double by Rich Dauer produced two runs.

Ken Singleton was hit by a pitch and Eddie Murray then doubled to plate Dauer. Lee May was walked intentionally to load the bases and Eduardo Rodriguez, brought on in relief of Bill Travers, walked Pat Kelly to force in another run. A single by Carlos Lopez brought Murray home to cap the outburst. [The Sporting News]
