The Athletics rallied for two runs on a double by Sal Bando in the 12th inning to win the first game of a doubleheader, 7-6, before completing the sweep by defeating the Royals in the second game, 8-1. Bando and Reggie Jackson hit homers to pace the A's to a 5-2 lead in the lidlifter, but the Royals chased Vida Blue and tied the score with three runs in the ninth. The Royals then took the lead in the 12th with a run on an error by Bert Campaneris and singles by Jim Wohlford and George Brett. In the A's half, Jackson singled and was forced by Joe Rudi, who was replaced on the paths by Don Hopkins. Gene Tenace walked. The Royals then brought in Lindy McDaniel to face Bando, who doubled to drive in the tying and winning runs.
