Pitching against his former teammates for the first time, Catfish Hunter allowed only two hits and shut out the Athletics, 3-0, to snap the Yankees' six-game losing streak. Bill North singled in the third inning and Claudell Washington in the fourth. North was thrown out trying to steal. Hunter, who did not pass anyone, thus had to face only 28 batters. The ace righthander threw just 88 pitches in a game that lasted one hour, 37 minutes.

Ken Holtzman, who was the loser, gave up the Yankees' first run in the second inning on a walk to Thurman Munson, single by Alex Johnson and sacrifice fly by Graig Nettles. A walk to Bobby Bonds, an infield out and another single by Johnson added a run in the fourth. The final tally counted in the eighth when Roy White singled, stole second, took third on a throwing error by catcher Gene Tenace and crossed the plate on a single by Bonds. [The Sporting News]
