Dick Green's grand-slam homer with two out in the eighth inning gave Oakland a 6-2 decision over California and moved the A's into first place, .002 ahead of Kansas City, which lost to Minnesota. Reggie Jackson opened the eighth with a single and when Deron Johnson walked, Angel starter Rudy May was relieved by Aurelio Monteagudo. Gene Tenace sacrificed, Jesus Alou was purposely passed and Steve Barber, relieving May, fanned pinch-hitter Billy Conigliaro. Green then blasted a pitch over the left field wall, breaking a 2-2 deadlock.
