The Athletics exploded for five runs in the seventh inning of the opener and followed with a four-run outburst in the eighth inning of the nightcap to sweep a doubleheader with the Yankees, 7-3 and 6-1. The Yankees, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak, had a 3-2 lead in the first game with the aid of a homer by Jim Mason before the A's erupted in the seventh. With Cecil Upshaw pitching, Pat Bourque singled, Gene Tenace walked and when Upshaw threw wildly on a grounder by Bill North, Herb Washington scored as the runner for Bourque. Sparky Lyle relieved and retired Jesus Alou before passing Bert Campaneris intentionally. Claudell Washington hit a sacrifice fly to put the A's ahead and Sal Bando followed with a three-run homer to ice the verdict.
