A three-run homer by George Hendrick won the first game and another three-run homer by Mike Epstein clinched the second game as the Athletics defeated the Rangers in a twi-night doubleheader, 4-1 and 7-1. In the seventh inning of the opener, Joe Rudi hit the first homer given up by Pete Broberg this season. Then, after a walk to Reggie Jackson and error by Broberg on a bunt by Sal Bando, Epstein flied out, but Hendrick came through with his game-winning drive.
