Led by Wayne Gross, who batted in five runs with two homers, the A's piled up 13 hits and walloped the Yankees, 11-5. Gross hit his first homer of the game with a man on base in the second inning. Jim Spencer then donned the slugging togs for the Yankees, rapping a solo shot in the home half of the second and another homer with two aboard in the third when the Yankees scored four runs to take a 5-2 lead.
