A triple by Angel Mangual and safe bunt by Bert Campaneris in the seventh inning provided the Athletics with a run to defeat the White Sox, 4-3. Homers by Reggie Jackson and Sal Bando accounted for the other runs off Wilbur Wood, who lost to the A's for the seventh straight time. Jackson rapped his round-tripper in the fourth inning and Bando connected for the circuit after an error by Dick Allen in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
