Orioles score five times in the first inning and hold on to beat the Royals, 10-8. The win marks Baltimore’s 23rd consecutive victory against Kansas City over two years, setting a major league mark.

On August 2, 1970 — At Memorial Stadium, the Orioles score five times in the first inning and hold on to beat the Royals, 10-8. The win marks Baltimore’s 23rd consecutive victory against Kansas City over two years, setting a major league mark. The previous mark was 21. The streak included 7 wins by 1 run and 3 extra-inning games.

Ironically Orioles relief pitcher Moe Drabowsky, who was drafted by the Royals as the 42nd pick in the expansion draft in 1968, he was traded back to the Royals for Bobby Ford, lost twice during the streak as a Royal. Drabowsky was a star in the 1966 World Series for the Orioles and will also play a key roll in helping the Orioles win another title in 1970.

Curt Motton drives in 5 and Paul Blair collects 4 hits for the Orioles. Mike Cuellar only goes 5.1 innings but picks up his 15th win. Eddie Watt picks up his 9th save.

The Astros get a walk-off win on a ball that barely travels two feet. With runners on first and second and one out in the 11th after the Astros have just tied the score at 5-all against the Athletics, Alex Bregman taps a ball that bounces off home plate, briefly rolls foul, before returning to fair territory. C Jonathan Lucroy picks it up and attempts to tag Bregman, who has not moved yet, but he somehow drops the ball. He then throws to 1B but his relay glances off Bregman’s helmet and past 1B Mark Canha, allowing Kyle Tucker to score the winning run from second base. “I think it was the softest ball anyone’s ever hit,” Bregman reflects after the bizarre play.
