A run-scoring single by Paul Blair in the 12th inning broke up a scoreless battle and gave the Orioles a 1-0 victory over the Indians. Boog Powell opened the inning with a double and was replaced by pinch-runner Enos Cabell. After Bobby Grich went out, the Indians walked Brooks Robinson intentionally in a move that failed when Blair rapped his single. [The Sporting News]
