Dick Bosman gained his second victory over his former teammates in six days when the Athletics defeated the Indians, 6-2. Bosman pitched eight innings and allowed only one run on singles by George Hendrick and John Ellis around an infield out in the second. Rollie Fingers pitched the ninth and gave up a homer by Hendrick.

The A's, after being held to one hit in the first five innings, jumped on Jim Kern for four runs in the sixth on two walks, singles by Claudell Washington and Jim Holt, an error and single by Phil Garner. Reggie Jackson hit his third homer in three games in the seventh and Washington added a circuit clout for the A's final run in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
