Two homers by Reggie Jackson and one by Sal Bando sent Wilbur Wood down to his sixth straight setback as the Athletics defeated the White Sox, 3-2. With two out in the first inning, Bando and Jackson connected for the circuit in succession. The White Sox came back to tie the score in the third when Carlos May singled after two walks and a hit by Johnny Jeter had loaded the bases. Jackson then broke the tie with his second homer of the game in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
