Aparicio's base stealing pace powers Orioles split doubleheader
Orioles split a doubleheader with Detroit as Luis Aparicio, the league’s top thief, slugged five hits and stole two bases to boost his season totals. He added a .304 average and widened his lead in stolen bases despite missing two weeks with a groin pull. Brooks Robinson later supplied a two run homer to seal the win. Other AL results include Chicago over Kansas City, Los Angeles over Minnesota, Washington over Boston, and a New York-Cleveland rain shortened tie.
