Joe Rudi doubled home a run to climax a four-run seventh inning and delivered two run-scoring singles in a seven-run ninth inning to pace the A's to a 12-4 victory over the Angels. It was the A's sixth straight win and 11th in their last 12. The A's were trailing 3-1 going into the seventh but Bert Campaneris' single and Billy Williams' double tied the score and Claudell Washington's single drove home the lead run. Rudi's double scored Washington to make it 5-3.

After the Angels scored a run in the seventh on a throwing error by catcher Gene Tenace, the A's sent 12 men to the plate in the ninth and scored seven times. Rudi triggered the rally with a run-scoring single and capped it with another run-scoring hit. Phil Garner had a run-scoring single and Washington drove in two runs during the onslaught.
