Rookie righthander Brian Kingman gained his first major league victory, with help from Dave Hamilton, as the A's defeated the Yankees, 5-1. The Bronx Bombers scored their only run of the game with two out in the fifth inning when Bobby Brown doubled and Thurman Munson singled, but the A's came back with three off New York lefthander Tommy John in the top of the sixth inning on three singles, two errors and a sacrifice fly. Hamlton relieved Kingman with a man on base and none out in the eighth and retired the last six Yankee batters.
