Reggie Jackson batted in two runs with a pair of singles and Dick Green accounted for two with a homer to lead the Athletics to a 5-1 victory over the Yankees. Catfish Hunter held the Yankees to three hits until one out in the eighth when Horace Clarke and Matty Alou singled. Darold Knowles relieved and on his first pitch, Roy White grounded into an inning-ending double play. [The Sporting News]
