Frank Robinson, making up for his error in the first inning, capped the Orioles' comeback with a two-run double in the ninth to defeat the Red Sox, 9-8. In the first, Carl Yastrzemski homered with a man on base. Jerry Moses drove in two runs with a double and two tainted tallies scored on Robinson's error as the Red Sox took a 6-0 lead.

The Orioles tied the game in the seventh when Curt Motton homered with two aboard and Chico Salmon connected with a man on base. The Red Sox went ahead again with a circuit clout by Tony Conigliaro in their half of the seventh and another run in the eighth. The Orioles then rallied to win in the ninth. Boog Powell doubled and scored on a single by Merv Rettenmund. Paul Blair also doubled, Rettenmund stopping at third, and Robinson followed with the winning double. [The Sporting News]
