The Orioles extended their winning streak to seven games by scoring twice in the 11th inning to defeat the Indians, 6-4. The loss was the 100th of the season for the Indians, most for any Cleveland club since 1914.

Chico Salmon was safe on an error to open the 11th and took second on a wild pitch. After Don Buford flied out, Tom Shopay singled, scoring Salmon. Merv Rettenmund followed with a single to add an insurance run. Two RBI singles by Ted Uhlaender and a homer by Graig Nettles put the Orioles behind, 4-1, before they tied the score.
