Jim Marshall led Houston to a win over Baltimore. The final score was 7-3. Marshall, who is tied for 8th in the FA in triples with 1, collected 2 runs batted in, while going 3 for 4 at the plate. The third baseman also scored 2 times. Bob Young, who finished 3rd in the CA in saves with 19 in 1970, earned the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 2-0. The win gives Houston a record of 12-7.

The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Marshall delivered big-time for Houston, stroking a dramatic 2-run single off Jimmy Pepper. The game-changing hit put the Comets on top, 5-3.

"We try to keep the mood light around here," said Marshall. "Winning helps."
