Catfish Hunter made his first appearance since being injured on opening day and was the loser when the Athletics defeated the Yankees, 5-2. The A's piled up four runs before Hunter could settle down. In the first inning, Larry Murray singled and Mitchell Page homered. The A's followed with two more runs in the second on a pass to Earl Williams, double by Marty Perez and triple by Bill North.
