Phil Garner and Reggie Jackson batted in two runs apiece to enable the Athletics to defeat the Orioles, 5-2. After Garner accounted for his RBIs with a bases-loaded double in the second inning, the Orioles tied the score in the sixth. Ken Singleton led off with a homer. Paul Blair singled, stole second and counted on a single by Lee May.

The A's came back with the winning runs in the seventh after Sal Bando was hit by a pitch and Bert Campaneris walked. Claudell Washington drove in the tie-breaking tally with a double and Jackson then clinched the verdict with a two-run single. [The Sporting News]
