Bert Campaneris rapped a double and two singles, scored one run and drove in two to lead the Athletics to a 5-2 victory over the Yankees. Curt Blefary homered against his former Yankee teammates. Chuck Dobson received credit for his 12th victory, but the A's used three relief pitchers before the game ended with the save going to Rollie Fingers. [The Sporting News]
