The Orioles extended their winning streak to seven games by sweeping a doubleheader with the White Sox, 7-2 and 4-2. Dave McNally was the winner of the opener with the support of homers by Frank Robinson, Boog Powell and Merv Rettenmund.

In the nightcap, the Orioles tied the score at 2-2 with a homer by Don Buford in the seventh inning and then broke the deadlock with two runs in the eighth on a walk to Powell and singles by Paul Blair, Brooks Robinson and Chico Salmon. [The Sporting News]
