Ted Kubiak, subbing for Sal Bando, who was sidelined with an injured ankle, delivered the go-ahead single in the seventh inning when the Athletics scored four runs to defeat the Indians. 6-3. The A's, who had a homer by Joe Rudi in the fifth, were trailing, 2-1, when they loaded the bases in the seventh on a walk to Reggie Jackson and singles by Rudi and Gene Tenace. Jackson scored the tying run on an infield out by Pat Bourque. Kubiak then delivered his single, driving in Rudi and Tenace. Bill North followed with a triple to score Kubiak. [The Sporting News]
