A wild pitch that allowed Brooks Robinson to score capped a three-run rally in the eighth inning and enabled the Orioles to defeat the Twins, 6-5. Two walks and a safe bunt by Robinson loaded the bases and two runs scored on an infield out by Elrod Hendricks and single by Mark Belanger before Jim Strickland's wild pitch admitted Robinson.
