The Orioles opened their second season with a 3-2 triumph over the Royals in 12 innings. Ken Singleton opened the bottom of the 12th with a double and was replaced by pinch-runner Cal Ripken. After Eddie Murray was walked intentionally, John Lowenstein delivered a single to plate the winning tally. The Birds scored twice in the first inning on consecutive homers by Singleton and Murray and then were held hitless until the 12th.
