Dick Schofield tripled with the bases loaded for the big blow of a five-run rally in the seventh inning as the Red Sox came from behind to edge the Orioles, 6-5. Paul Blair, Frank Robinson and Brooks Robinson hit homers and on Buford stole home to give the Orioles a 5-1 lead.

Reggie Smith homered for the Red Sox run in the first inning. In the seventh with one out Tom Satriano singled to drive in a run. After a pass to Mike Fiore loaded the bases, Schofield lashed his triple and then scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Smith. [The Sporting News]
