The tremendous relief pitching of Bill Lee, who allowed only two hits in 8 1/3 innings, enabled the Red Sox to come from behind to defeat the Orioles, 7-4. The Orioles jumped on Luis Tiant for all their runs in the first inning on a homer by Boog Powell, two walks and another round-tripper by Davey Johnson.
