Although hitting three homers, the Orioles lost the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 7-5, but two more circuit clouts beat the Athletics in the second game, 5-3. After Al Bumbry homered for the Orioles in the first inning of the opener, the A's built up a 7-1 lead with the aid of four RBIs by Dick Green, who hit a double and single. Boog Powell hit a two-run homer for the Orioles in the sixth and Brooks Robinson led off the seventh with a round-tripper. The Orioles went on to add another run before Rollie Fingers came in to save the game for the A's.
