Tony Horton hit for the cycle as the Indians gained a 10-9 victory to snap a string of eight straight defeats at the hands of the Orioles this season. Horton doubled in the first inning, tripled in the fourth, singled in the seventh and led off the ninth with a homer. Ted Uhlaender followed with a single, Buddy Bradford doubled and Jack Heidemann hit a sacrifice fly for another run that proved decisive when Boog Powell hit for the circuit with two men on base in the Orioles' half of the final frame.

Ray Fosse batted in four runs for the Indians with a homer and a sacrifice fly. Eddie Leon also contributed a round-tripper to the Indians' attack, while Orioles hits included a circuit clout by Frank Robinson. [The Sporting News]
