A pair of homers by Lee May paced the attack as the Orioles handed the Tigers their seventh straight loss, 6-3. May's first homer came in the third inning and followed singles by Billy Smith and Ken Singleton. The designated hitter then hit a solo clout in the fifth frame.

It was the 32nd time in his career that May has hit two or more home runs in one game. McGregor posted his fourth consecutive complete-game victory. [The Sporting News]
