Reggie Jackson hit a pair of solo homers and Joe Rudi smashed a drive with two men on base to power the Athletics to a 7-2 victory over the Twins. After Jackson's first homer in the third inning, Rudi and Jackson connected in succession in the seventh to put the game away with four unearned runs resulting from an error by Eric Soderholm.
