The Twins jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 3rd by stringing three hits together. The Orioles got one back in the 5Th curtesy of Brooks Robinson then down to their final out with nobody aboard, Paul Blair evened the contest sending it into extra innings. Finally in the 12th the home club solved the baffling knuckleball of Eddie Fisher to snag the win.
