Baltimore used the hitting of Frank Robinson to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Black Sox on top, 2-0. For the game, Robinson had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Robinson.
