Steve Kline gained his first major league victory and helped the Yankees defeat the Athletics, 7-2, by rapping three singles in four trips to the plate. The A's scored their runs on a homer by Reggie Jackson in the first inning, but the Yankees came back with three in the third on singles by Kline and Horace Clarke, a pass to Bobby Murcer, a forceout and singles by Danny Cater and Thurman Munson.
