KCA 5-13-0 BAL 4-8-1 WP-Johnson (2-0) LP-Fisher (0-2)

Kansas City's bullpen withstood late rallies by the Orioles to hang on for a 5-4 victory at Memorial Stadium. The A's got three-hit efforts by Norm Siebern and Andy Carey and RBI's by 5 different players including starting and winning pitcher Ken Johnson, who struck out 7 and withstood Jim Gentile's 3-run homer in the 6th. Bill Kunkel took over for Johnson in the 8th and got out of Oriole quicksand with the bases loaded in the 8th and the tying run at 3rd in the 9th to save it for Johnson. Jack Fisher took the loss for the Orioles, relieved by Wilhelm.
