Brooks Robinson broke up an overtime game by hitting a homer with two out in the 11th inning to give the Orioles a 4-3 victory over the Indians. Frank Duffy hit his first major league homer for the Indians with a man on base in the first and John Lowenstein connected for the circuit in the ninth to put the Tribe ahead, 3-2, but the Orioles rallied to tie the score with a double by Paul Blair and single by Don Baylor.
