Deron Johnson hit a grand-slam in the first inning and Sal Bando homered with a man on base in the ninth to power the Athletics to a 6-4 victory over the Brewers. Catfish Hunter made his first appearance for the A's since being injured in the All-Star Game July 24 and gave up two runs in the third on a double by Bob Coluccio and homer by Pedro Garcia. Hunter was lifted in the sixth and Darold Knowles, who relieved, was tagged for a score-tying double by Darrell Porter. [The Sporting News]
