Reggie Jackson hit two homers and Deron Johnson added one to account for all of the Athletics' runs in a 5-2 victory over the Indians. In the third inning, after Bill North singled and Sal Bando was awarded base on catcher's interference, Jackson and Johnson homered in succession. Jackson connected for the circuit again in the eighth to nail down Ken Holtzman's 15th victory. [The Sporting News]
