Eddie Murray's 21st homer of the season, coming with two out in the 10th inning, powered the Orioles to a 3-2 victory over the Brewers. Ken Singleton also homered in the fourth for the Orioles' first run. Larry Hisle hit a sacrifice fly for his 77th RBI of the season to put the Brewers ahead, 2-1, in the sixth, but the Orioles tied the score with singles by Rich Dauer and Lee May around a sacrifice bunt by Singleton in the eighth.
