A grand slam by Gene Tenace in the eighth inning highlighted a six-run outburst that brought the Athletics a 7-1 victory over the Brewers. Catfish Hunter held Brewers to three hits, but a homer by Darrell Porter in the seventh tied the score at 1-1.

Bert Campaneris led off the eighth with a single, moved up on a sacrifice, stole third and scored the tie-breaking tally on a single by Sal Bando. A single by Reggie Jackson and pass to Joe Rudi then loaded the bases to set the scene for Tenace's homer off Bill Travers. The A's combined three singles for another run before the inning ended.
