Homers by Reggie Jackson and Sal Bando provided all of the Athletics' runs in a 4-3 victory over the Orioles. Jackson connected for the circuit after a double by Bill North and pass to Joe Rudi in the first inning and Bando followed with a solo swat for the deciding run in the fourth. The Orioles were shut out until the ninth when a homer by Bobby Grich, three walks and a single by Brooks Robinson produced their runs. [The Sporting News]
