Davey Johnson, who hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning, also drove in the tie-breaking tally with an infield out in the eighth to enable the Orioles to defeat the Tigers, 6-5. Boog Powell opened the frame with a double, Brooks Robinson walked and pinch-hitter Merv Rettenmund drew a pass to load the bases. Johnson then hit a check-swing roller to second, allowing Powell to score.
