A three-run homer by Sal Bando and two-run drive by Gene Tenace helped power the Athletics to a 9-1 victory over the Royals, who dropped all three games in the series and fell eight lengths behind the A's in the West Division race. Bando connected for the circuit after singles by Phil Garner and Bill North in the third inning. Tenace's homer followed a pass to Reggie Jackson in the sixth. Denny Walling doubled for his first major league hit with the A's in the eighth and drove in two runs for his first RBIs.
