The Orioles got a run in the first inning when Breeding, along with Robinson, the two Birds who got a pair of hits, doubled to right center, moved to third on Russ Snyder's single to right and crossed on Kunkel's wild pitch into the dirt in front of the plate.

The Flock added a pair of tallies in the third on three straight hits after two were out.

Jackie Brandt singled deep into the hole at short to start the rally.

Jim Gentile bounced a hard shot off Kunkel's glove and beat it out for a single, and when Lumpe grabbed the ball and threw it over first baseman Throneberry's head Brandt took third and Gentile second on the error.

Then Robinson slammed a long double to left center to score both runners. When Robinson tried to stretch his blow into a triple, he was cut down in a close play at third, Tuttle to Andy Carey.

The detailed rundown on the Kansas City scoring in the sixth went like this:

Lumpe worked a walk as the first batter to face Hyde and romped around as Siebern blasted Hyde's next toss 415 feet over the scoreboard in right center.

Carey singled on a slow bouncing ball to short which Robinson cut across to field and threw wide to first. It was ruled a difficult chance and a hit.

Then Throneberry rapped into a fast double play. Breeding to Adair to Gentile, setting up Tuttle's 390 -- foot homer over the wall in left center.

If the Orioles are to break their losing streak within the next two days, it will have to be at the expense of the American League champion New York Yankees, who come in here tomorrow for a night game and a single test Sunday afternoon.
