Ken Holtzman pitched a two-hitter and Reggie Jackson drove in three of the the Athletics' runs in a 4-0 victory over Tthe igers. Bert Campaneris opened the first inning with a safe bunt and took third on a wild pickoff throw by Jim Perry. After Bill North walked, Jackson accounted for his first RBI with an infield grounder, scoring Campaneris. Deron Johnson followed with a double to drive in North. Then, in the seventh, after North and Sal Bando walked with two out, Jackson sent them home with a double to complete the scoring. [The Sporting News]
