Joe Rudi, who missed one game because of fatigue and then had an open date to recuperate, returned to the Athletics' lineup and smashed a three-run homer to beat the Tigers, 4-1. Rudi's blow in the fourth inning followed singles by Dal Maxvill and Bert Campaneris. Maxvill apeared in his first game with the A's after being obtained from the Cardinals.
