Although tagged for two homers, Vida Blue gained his 23rd victory and Catfish Hunter followed with a shutout for his 17th victory as the Athletics defeated the Senators in a doubleheader, 4-3 and 9-0. Del Unser homered off Blue in the fifth inning and Tim Cullen connected after a walk to Elliott Maddox in the ninth. Reggie Jackson homered for the A's, but their deciding run off Pete Broberg in the sixth was unearned on an error by Lenny Randle.
