Forced into overtime, the Orioles broke away with two runs in the 11th inning and defeated the Tigers, 6-4. The Orioles scored their first four runs in the second, three coming on a homer by Elrod Hendricks. The Tigers came back with a two-run smash by Tom Veryzer in the fifth and tied the score when Ben Oglivie hit for the circuit with a man on base in the eighth.

Al Bumbry walked in the 11th and scored the Orioles' tie-breaking run on a single by Tony Muser and double by Jim Northrup. After an intentional pass to Lee May, Ken Singleton hit a sacrifice fly to add an insurance tally. [The Sporting News]
