Sal Bando provided the big noise for a Fireworks Show crowd of 37,761 by hitting a grand-slam homer to propel the Athletics to a 4-2 victory over the Yankees. Mel Stottlemyre, pitching for the Yankees, retired the first 10 batters before Joe Rudi doubled. An intentional pass to Mike Epstein with two out and another walk to Bill Voss then loaded the bases for the fifth grand slam of Bando's major league career.
