Chuck Dobson, who helped himself at bat with a two-run double, gained his seventh straight victory when the Athletics defeated the Angels, 5-3. Sal Bando, who had four hits, scored the A's first run in the second inning and drove in another run in the third.

Dave Duncan and Larry Brown singled in the sixth and both scored on Dobson's double. Dobson also crossed the plate when Joe Rudi singled. The Angels chased Dobson in the eighth and Darold Knowles came in to get credit for the save. [The Sporting News]
