Friday June 20, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Stan Bahnsen, making his first start for the Athletics since being obtained from the White Sox, allowed only five hits in 7 1/3 innings and received credit for a 3-1 victory over the Royals. Reggie Jackson knocked in two runs for the A's in the first inning after Bill North walked and Claudell Washington was safe on an error. Washington accounted for the other tally with a homer in the fifth. The Royals' lone run scored in the seventh when Hal McRae doubled and Jim Wohlford singled. [The Sporting News]
