Coming through with his third double of the game, Joe Rudi drove in two runs in the ninth inning to enable the Athletics to defeat the Royals, 6-4. Both runs were unearned as a result of an error by Paul Schaal. The Royals threatened in their half of the ninth, but Paul Lindblad fanned Cookie Rojas with the bases loaded for the final out. In the seesaw game, Sal Bando homered in the sixth to put the A's ahead, 4-3, but the Royals tied the score in their half on a pass to John Mayberry, error by Bando and double by Rojas.
