After Bert Campaneris homered with two men on base in the third inning, the Athletics added a run in the sixth and edged the White Sox, 4-3. The deciding tally counted when Reggie Jackson singled, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Joe Rudi. Carlos May hit a homer with one aboard for the White Sox in the eighth.
