On September 12, 1964 — Baltimore Orioles southpaw Frank Bertaina records his first major league victory when he tosses a one-hitter to beat the A’s at Memorial Stadium, 1-0. The losing pitcher Bob Meyer, who yields the game’s lone run in the 8th inning on a John Orsino’s double and he scored on a Jackie Brandt sacrifice fly, Orsino’s double was the only hit Meyer gave up. Doc Edwards’ 5th inning double was the A’s only hit of the game.
It was the seventh double one-hitter in baseball history. The last battle of matching one-hitters was June 21, 1956.
The Orioles will have only 19 official at-bats in the game. They had 3 Sacrifice Hits, 1 Sacrifice fly and Brooks Robinson grounded into a double play. Both clubs went to the plate just 46 times.
