October 7, 1969  The Baltimore Orioles completed the sweep over the Minnesota Twins with a 10-7 victory in game 3 of the ALCS. The Orioles jumped all over Twins starter Jim Kaat for 6 runs and before the 2nd inning was over, Kaat was gone. Minnesota battled back and even had the tieing run at the plate in the bottom of the 9th, but they weren't able to overcome the big lead Baltimore had established. Leftfielder Don Buford had 5 hits in the game and Frank Robinson (pictured) hit a 3 run homer to lead the Oriole's attack. Jim Palmer got the win even though he was far from his best. Pete Richert notched the save, his 2nd of the series. The Baltimore Orioles are the American League Champions! |
