Capping a dramatic comeback, Brooks Robinson hit a pinch-homer with two men on base in the 10th inning to lift the Orioles to a 6-5 victory over the Indians. Sparked by Frank Duffy, who hit a triple, the Indians scored three times in the top half of the 10th to take a 5-2 lead. The Orioles began their rally with a run on a single by Ken Singleton, pass to Doug DeCinces and single by Lee May. Robinson then batted for Larry Harlow and delivered his game-winning homer.
