Joe Rudi hit a grand-slam homer and also doubled for a fifth run as the Athletics defeated the Red Sox, 7-0, behind the five-hit hurling of Ken Holtzman. Roger Moret, who had pitched a one-hitter in his last previous start against the White Sox August 21, collared the A's until the fifth inning when lefthander lost his magic and was knocked out by a six-run barrage.
