Sal Bando, who had been hitless in 24 trips, snapped his slump with a homer for his first RBI since August 18 to propel the Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Tigers. Catfish Hunter, who pitched a four-hitter, yielded the Tigers' run in the second inning on a double by Bill Freehan and single by Tony Taylor.
