A homer by Bert Campaneris in the third inning enabled the Athletics to defeat the Rangers, 1-0. Fergie Jenkins was the loser in a duel with Ken Holtzman, his former Cubs' teammate. However, Holtzman needed help after Toby Harrah and Tom Grieve hit singles in the ninth inning. Rollie Fingers relieved and struck out Jeff Burroughs. Paul Lindblad then took over and retired Jim Spencer on a grounder for the final out.
