A homer by Rico Carty in the eighth inning enabled the Indians to gain a 2-1 victory in the second game for a split of a twi-night doubleheader with the Orioles, who won the first game, 3-2, in 10 innings. The Orioles faced defeat in the lidlifter until a pass to Mark Belanger and singles by Tommy Davis and Ken Singleton tied the score in the ninth. Then in the 10th, after a pass to Don Baylor, who stole second, the next two batters struck out.
