The Athletics stretched their A.L. West lead over the Royals to 8½ lengths with a 6-4 victory over the Angels. Reggie Jackson drove in the winners' first two runs in the opening inning with his 28th homer and Joe Rudi hit his 16th, with the bases empty, in the fourth. The A's picked up the deciding two runs in the seventh on a single by Dick Green, stolen base by pinch-runner Herb Washington, infield hit by Bill North, throwing error by Bobby Valentine and Bert Campaneris' sacrifice fly. Two walks and Ted Kubiak's single provided an insurance run in the eighth.
