The Orioles extended their winning streak to 10 games and Dave McNally gained his 24th victory by defeating the Senators, 6-2. McNally yielded only four hits, including Frank Howard's 44th homer. Frank Robinson batted in the Orioles' first two runs. Then, in the seventh, after three walks loaded the bases, Merv Rettenmund drove in a pair with a single and Brooks Robinson added the final runs with a triple. The loss was the 13th in succession for the Senators, one short of the present Washington club record, set in 1961. [The Sporting News]
