After failing to hold a 4-0 lead, the Orioles went ahead again on a homer by Boog Powell in the sixth inning and proceeded to defeat the Red Sox, 7-4. George Scott hit two doubles and a homer to help the Red Sox tie the score at 4-4 before Powell shattered the deadlock. The Orioles added insurance runs in the eighth on a single by Paul Blair, double by Brooks Robinson and single by Davey Johnson. [The Sporting News]
