Pinch-hitter Wayne Comer delivered a double with the bases loaded in the eighth inning as the Senators rallied to defeat the Orioles, 5-3. Ed Brinkman and pinch-hitter John Roseboro singled and, after Pete Richert replaced Jim Palmer, pinch-hitter Rick Reichardt walked to load the bases. Eddie Watt took the mound for the Orioles and was tagged for Comer's double, driving in two runs, and a third followed across the plate when Frank Robinson made a wild throw returning the ball to the infield.
