The Athletics spoiled Oldtimers' Day for the Yankees by batting their way to a 7-3 victory before a crowd of 46,293. A pass to Sal Bando, single by Reggie Jackson and homer by Gene Tenace gave the A's a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning and they added three more runs in the sixth on a double by Tenace, singles by Mike Hegan, Ted Kubiak and Bert Campaneris and an error by Horace Clarke. Graig Nettles had two of the Yankees' seven his off Vida Blue and drove in two runs. [The Sporting News]
