Houston Beaten, 8-4, by Baltimore
With Frank Robinson leading the charge, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Houston Astros, 8-4. Robinson went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Orioles. The win went to Tippy Martinez in relief, making him now 2-0. Joe Niekro took the loss for Houston. Houston is 7-3 after the defeat.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Ken Williams came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Houston pitcher Joe Niekro, he hit a 2-2 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Baltimore on top, 5-4.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Robinson. "But I like how we're playing right now."
