Tuesday June 24th: Athletics 4 Royals 1
Sal Bando's 2 run double sparked a three run 8th inning for the Athletics who snapped a 1-1 tie on their way to a crisp 4-1 victory over the expansion Royals. SP Jim Nash was strong through seven innings, allowing a run on five hits, but it was reliever Rollie Fingers who got the win, twirling two perfect innings in relief. At the plate, RF Reggie Jackson's 4th inning homer was his 4th in seven games.

Wednesday June 25th: Royals 8 Athletics 2
Royals rookie LF Lou Piniella nearly single handedly drove his team to victory today, going 3 for 3 with a double, a homer, 2 walks, 6 RBI, and 2 runs scored, as the Kansas City Royals roughed up Jim Hunter on their way to an 8-2 win over the Athletics. Hunter(3-7), who's won just once since April 16th, looked bad once again, allowing 5 runs(4 earned) on 9 hits with 4 walks and 6 strikeouts over six and third innings pitched.

Thursday June 26th: Athletics 9 Royals 8 (11 Innings)
Trailing 5-2 in the 7th, the Athletics stormed back to tie the game at 5-5 on an RBI sac fly from Dick Green and an RBI double from Ted Kubiak in the 7th, and an RBI triple from Tommie Reynolds in the 8th, eventually forcing extra innings where in the top of the 11th the Royals seemingly sewed it up, taking an 8-5 lead on a three run homer by Joe Foy. In the bottom of the inning however the A's again fought back, getting in succession, a solo homer from Dick Green, a walk by Bert Campaneris, a single by Mike Hershberger, and finally a dramatic game winning three run homer by Reggie Jackson, the 23 year old from just outside of Philadelphia who's quickly blossoming into one of the game's great power hitters.
