Tom Phoebus went the distance as the Baltimore Orioles topped the Kansas City
Royals by a score of 5 to 2 at Memorial Stadium.
 
In the bottom of the 5th inning Baltimore scored 4 runs when they had 4 base
hits.  The key at-bat was by Ellie Hendricks who came through for the home
fans when he smacked a single bringing in two baserunners.  Baltimore had a
total of 8 hits for the game.  
 
The win was credited to Phoebus(4-0) who went the whole way allowing 2 runs.
Dick Drago(2-4) was the loser.  He surrendered 7 hits and 6 walks in 6
innings.
