Reggie Jackson, who has been feasting on Texas pitching, smashed his eighth homer in 10 games against the Rangers this season to start the Athletics off to an 8-4 victory. Jesus Alou singled to open the first inning and Claudell Washington walked before Jackson connected for his circuit clout off Jim Bibby. A double by Gene Tenace and triple by Dick Green helped the A's add two runs in the fourth and they wrapped up their scoring with three in the sixth, including a homer by Joe Rudi.
