After outslugging the Senators, 12-10, in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, the Orioles also won the second game, 3-2, in 13 innings. Mike Epstein staged a one-man show for the Senators in the opener, driving in eight runs with two homers and a single. One of his homers came with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. Boog Powell led the Orioles' attack with four hits and four RBIs.

In the nightcap, Merv Rettenmund singled and Frank Robinson homered for the Orioles in the first inning. Homers by Paul Casanova in the fifth and Bernie Allen in the ninth enabled the Senators to send the game into overtime. In the 13th, Davey Johnson doubled and, after two out, Rettenmund singled to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
