Wayne Garland boosted his record to 11-1 when Brooks Robinson smashed a two-run homer in the fifth inning to enable the Orioles to defeat the Angels, 5-4, for their sixth straight victory. A sacrifice fly by Tony Muser produced the Orioles' initial run in the first inning. A single by Ken Singleton and bases-loaded walk to Reggie Jackson pushed over a pair in the second before Terry Crowley doubled and Robinson homered in the fifth to permit the Orioles to eke out their victory.
