After Sal Bando belted two homers, Gene Tenace hit for the circuit with two men on base for the Athletics' deciding blow in an 8-5 victory over the Twins. Bando homered on successive trips to the plate in the fourth and sixth innings. After his second smash, the A's scored two more runs on a double by Reggie Jackson, a walk and singles by Tommy Harper and Phil Garner.
