Gene Tenace hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, scoring pinch-runner Matt Alexander, to lift the Athletics to a 3-2 victory over the Yankees. Billy Williams led off the inning with a single. Alexander, replacing Williams on the paths, stole second and continued to third on a throwing error by Thurman Munson to set the stage for Tenace's sacrifice fly.
