A single by Claudell Washington in the 12th inning for his fourth hit of the game led to the run that gave the Athletics a 4-3 victory and sent the White Sox down to their fifth straight defeat. The A's counted twice in the first on a single by Bert Campaneris, pass to Reggie Jackson, double by Joe Rudi and sacrifice fly by Billy Williams.

Their third run registered in the fifth on singles by Bill North and Rudi around a passed ball. All three of the White Sox runs were unearned. In the 12th, after Washington singled, Terry Forster failed in an attempted forceout on a grounder by Larry Haney. Ted Kubiak then sacrificed before North singled to drive in Washington.
