The Athletics stepped off against Bill Singer with two runs in the first inning and added a pair on a homer by Reggie Jackson in the third to clinch a 5-1 victory over the Angels. Bert Campaneris was safe on an error, Bill North singled for the first of his three hits and Sal Bando lofted a sacrifice fly for the initial run in the first before Joe Rudi doubled to add another tally.
