The Athletics, stymied by Jim Hughes after scoring two runs in the first inning, caught up with the rookie righthander in the 10th and defeated the Twins, 5-2. Phil Garner singled with one out in the overtime stanza and took third on a single by Claudell Washington.

Hughes uncorked a wild pitch while facing Reggie Jackson, allowing Garner to score. And when catcher Glenn Borgmann made a wild throw after retrieving the ball, Washington also crossed the plate. Then, after retiring Jackson, Hughes was rapped for a homer by Joe Rudi. [The Sporting News]
