Fergie Jenkins, who had not been a winner since June 23, went the distance on a three-hitter and pitched the Red Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Athletics. The A's reached the veteran righthander for their run in the second inning on a single by Jim Tyrone and triple by Willie Crawford. George Scott batted in a matching run with a single in the third and the Red Sox followed with a pair in the seventh on a single by Dwight Evans, wild throw by Sheldon Mallory on a bunt by Rick Miller and singles by Steve Dillard and Rick Burleson.
