Davey Johnson, who drove in a run with a single in the seventh inning to tie the score at 2-2, smashed the deadlock with a homer in the ninth to give the Orioles a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox. Paul Blair also homered for the Orioles, accounting for their initial run in the first inning, but the Red Sox went on to take a 2-1 lead before Johnson's single in the seventh plated Brooks Robinson with the tying tally.
