Tommy Davis, who walked as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and then took over at first base for the Athletics, singled a run across the plate in the ninth to beat the Orioles, 5-4. Bert Campaneris singled, Joe Rudi sacrificed and Reggie Jackson drew an intentional pass before Davis delivered his winning hit. [The Sporting News]
