Brooks Robinson, who was a doubtful starter because of illness, smashed a grand-slam homer in the fifth inning as the Orioles exploded for seven runs to defeat the Athletics, 7-3. The Orioles loaded the bases on two walks around an error, before Merv Rettenmund drew a pass from Blue Moon Odom to force in the first run. Robinson followed with his jackpot wallop. Elrod Hendricks singled to kayo Odom. Baltimore Orioles 7, Oakland Athletics 3Game Played on Sunday, July 18, 1971 (Day game) at Oakland-Alameda County ColiseumOrioles 0 0 0 0 7 0 0 0 0 - 7 9 0
