Bert Campaneris raced home from first base on a throwing error by Freddie Patek in the ninth inning to carry the Athletics to a 3-2 victory over the Royals. John Mayberry homered to produce the Royals' runs in the third inning, but the A's tied the score in the fifth with a homer by Gene Tenace, double by Ray Fosse and single by Bill North. In the ninth, Campaneris singled and when Patek threw wildly to first after fielding a grounder by North, Campaneris sped home to score the winning run.
