Manager Frank Robinson, pinch-hitting in the eighth inning, delivered a single to spark a six-run outburst that brought the Indians a 6-1 victory over the Orioles. Don Baylor doubled for a run in the seventh to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead behind the pitching of Ross Grimsley, who allowed only two hits until folding in the eighth.

Buddy Bell opened the Indians' rally with a double and scored on Robinson's single. Robinson took second on the throw home and advanced to third on an infield hit by Ken Berry. Wayne Garland replaced Grimsley and, on his first pitch, Frank Duffy singled, scoring Robinson with the Indians' go-ahead run. After Charlie Spikes drew a pass to load the bases, successive walks to Rico Carty and Boog Powell with two out forced in two runs and another pair scored when Bell singled. Carty singled in the seventh inning for the 1,000th hit of his major league career. [The Sporting News]
