Posting his first shutout of the season, Ray Culp gave up only three hits and pitched the Red Sox to a 6-0 victory over the Orioles. The Red Sox scored three unearned runs in the second inning as the result of an error by Brooks Robinson and chalked up their other tallies on homers by Carlton Fisk and Tommy Harper in the fourth.
