The surprising A's picked up their fifth straight victory when Wayne Gross homered in the seventh inning to beat the Angels, 2-1, behind the combined three-hit pitching of Alan Wirth and Dave Heaverlo. The Angels scored their run in the second inning on a single by Don Baylor, two infield outs and a safe drag bunt by Rance Mulliniks. Tony Arrnas singled in the third, stole second and counted the tying run on a single by Miguel Dilone before Gross delivered his winning homer in the seventh.
