Terry Crowley, playing in the outfield while Frank Robinson was rested, hit his first major league homer, driving in three runs, and Dave May added a bases-loaded triple to lead the Orioles to a 6-3 victory over the Twins. Crowley singled and scored in the third before rapping his round-tripper in the fourth. May's triple came in the seventh when the Orioles wrapped up the scoring. [The Sporting News]
