Jacket Day drew 42,592, Oakland's largest crowd of the year, but the Athletics put on a fumbling performance, committing seven errors, and lost to the Royals, 6-5. The A's built up a 4-0 lead before the Royals erupted for all their runs in the sixth inning. Tom Poquette opened with a single and advanced on an error by Bill North.
