Climaxing a four-run outburst in the sixth inning, Brooks Robinson hit the 200th homer of his career with the Orioles to defeat the White Sox, 4-3. Merv Rettenmund reached second base on a throwing error by Luis Aparicio and counted on a single by Curt Motton for the Orioles' first hit of the game off Tommy John. After Boog Powell walked, Paul Blair singled for the second run before Robinson followed with his round-tripper. Ed Herrmann and Carlos May hit homers to produce the White Sox tallies.
