One Hall was the winner and another Hall was the loser when the Orioles defeated the Twins, 6-5. Dick Hall, pitching in relief for the Orioles, singled in the eighth inning for his first hit of the season and Don Buford followed with a homer off Tom Hall to break a 4-4 tie. Tony Oliva homered in the Twins' half, but Dick Hall prevented further scoring to disappoint the second largest Minnesota crowd of the season, including 34,588 paid and 7,010 Knotholers.
