A two-run homer by Reggie Jackson and the four-hit pitching of Ken Holtzman combined to bring the Athletics a 2-1 victory over the Twins. Bert Campaneris beat out an infield hit to open the game and, after two out, Jackson connected for his homer off Bert Blyleven. The Twins scored in the first inning on a triple by Larry Hisle and sacrifice fly by Rod Carew.
