The speed of Chico Salmon, who beat out a run-scoring bunt in the 13th inning, gave the Orioles a 4-3 victory over the Royals. Davey Johnson walked in the decisive stanza, took second on a sacrifice by Elrod Hendricks and reached third when Don Buford grounded out. Salmon, batting for Pete Richert, bunted down the right side of the diamond. First baseman Bob Oliver fielded the ball, but Salmon outran Ted Abernathy to the bag and beat Oliver's throw to the pitcher.
