Al Bumbry cracked a single, double and triple as the Orioles' designated hitter and scored three times in an 8-6 victory over the Twins. The Orioles' attack also included a homer by Don Baylor, triple by Paul Blair and doubles by Brooks Robinson and Lee May.

Robinson snapped an 0-for-20 slump with his double, accounting for two runs in the fifth inning. The Orioles built up an 8-1 lead before the Twins rallied for five runs in the seventh, three scoring on a homer by Larry Hisle. [The Sporting News]
