After scoring three runs in the first inning of the opener, the Yankees were collared the rest of the way and lost both games of a twi-night doubleheader to the Athletics, 9-3 and 1-0. Catfish Hunter, who had pitched two straight shutouts, gave up the Yankee runs on a single by Bobby Murcer, three walks and a double by Ron Swoboda. Hunter yielded only one more hit thereafter. Meanwhile, the A's went down in order against Steve Kline until the seventh when Bert Campaneris was hit by a pitch, Joe Rudi singled and Reggie Jackson and Mike Epstein smashed successive homers. Campaneris added two runs with a round-tripper in the eighth.
