. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Celebrating his selection to the All-Star team, Brooks Robinson hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning to lift the Orioles to a 7-5 victory over the Athletics. Robinson's blow made a winner out of Don Hood, who pitched four scoreless innings in relief in his first appearance since coming up from Rochester (International). Al Bumbry also homered for the Orioles.

The A's scored all their runs off Jesse Jefferson. Gene Tenace and Sal Bando each homered with a man on base. [The Sporting News]
