With four homers in their arsenal, the Orioles defeated the Royals, 7-3, for their 15th straight victory over the expansion club in a two-season span. Davey Johnson homered with a man on base in the fourth inning and Elrod Hendricks followed with a solo swat. Brooks Robinson added a two-run wallop in the fifth and Boog Powell wound up the bombardment in the seventh. Pat Kelly hit an inside-the-park homer for the Royals.
