Jacket Day helped attract a record Brewers' crowd of 46,812, but the Athletics came away with a 5-4 victory. The A's started off with two runs in the first inning on a walk to Bill North and homer by Sal Bando. Pedro Garcia countered with a round-tripper for the Brewers in the second, but the A's added two runs in the fourth on a homer by Deron Johnson, single by Gene Tenace, double by Dick Green and single by North.

The A's then scored what proved to be the winning run in the fifth when Bando singled, took third on a single by Reggie Jackson and scored on a sacrifice fly by Joe Rudi. The Brewers closed the gap with three unearned runs in the seventh before Paul Lindblad relieved and saved the game for Ken Holtzman. [The Sporting News]
