Back-to-back homers by Boog Powell and Merv Rettenmund in the third inning powered the Orioles to a 4-2 victory over the Yankees before an Old-Timers' Day crowd of 47,914. Brooks Robinson singled with two out before Powell and Rettenmund went into their slugging act. Dave McNally was tagged for 11 hits by the Yankees, including a homer by Bobby Murcer, but posted his 16th victory. [The Sporting News]
