For the second straight time, the Athletics failed to score for Vida Blue and their sensational southpaw suffered his second straight 1-0 defeat, this time at the hand of Mel Stottlemyre of the Yankees. Gary Peters of the Red Sox beat Blue, 1-0, August 20. Blue held the Yankees to four hits, but a single by Thurman Munson, double by Roy White and infield out by Felipe Alou produced a run in the first inning.
