The Athletics erupted for four runs in the 10th inning, three scoring on a homer by Gene Tenace, to defeat the Brewers, 7-3. Mike Hegan saved the A's from defeat with a pinch-homer in the seventh to tie the score. In the 10th, Bill North singled, took third on a single by Joe Rudi and beat the throw home on Reggie Jackson's grounder to George Scott. After Rich McKinney forced Rudi at third, Tenace wrapped up the game with his homer. [The Sporting News]
