An error by Mike Hegan with two out in the eighth inning enabled the Athletics to score two runs to defeat the Brewers, 3-2. The A's picked up their initial marker in the fourth on a double by Jesus Alou and single by Sal Bando, but the Brewers came back with a pair in the seventh on a single by George Scott, a wild pitch, double by Charlie Moore and single by Bobby Mitchell.

In the eighth, Jim Holt singled for the A's and gave way to pinch-runner Herb Washington, who stole second. Bert Campaneris singled, but Washington fell down rounding third base and was tagged out. Campaneris, who took second on the play, advanced to third on an infield out by Alou. Reggie Jackson drew an intentional pass and stole second. Bando then grounded to Don Money, who threw to first where Hegan dropped the ball, allowing Campaneris to score the tying run. Joe Rudi followed with a single for the deciding tally.
