On this date in 1967, the Orioles hit a club-record seven home runs for the first time in a 12-8 win at Boston. Four of the homers – from Andy Etchebarren, Sam Bowens, Boog Powell and Davey Johnson – came in a nine-run seventh inning. Paul Blair, Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson also went deep.

The Orioles matched the record on Aug. 8, 1985 in California and Sept. 26, 2012 versus Toronto.
