Jerry Kenney homered in the fifth inning and then hit a two-run single in the sixth when the Yankees scored four times en route to an 8-3 victory over the Athletics. Curt Blefary and Danny Cater singled to open the sixth and Blue Moon Odom was lifted after fumbling a bunt by Thurman Munson. Gene Michael singled off Jim Roland to drive in one run and Ron Woods walked to force in another, sending the Yankees ahead, 4-3. After Horace Clarke flied out, Kenney singled, scoring Munson and Michael. Bobby Murcer homered with a man on base to wrap up the Yankees' scoring in the eighth.
