Yielding only three hits over the last six innings, Mike Flanagan pitched the Orioles to a 3-2 decision over the A's. The score was 2-2 going into the ninth when pinch-hitter Pat Kelly drew a walk, raced to third on a single by Ken Singleton and came home on a sacrifice fly by Eddie Murray. [The Sporting News]
