Tuesday July 1st: Athletics 12 Pilots 0
A three run triple by Larry Haney and a two run double by Danny Cater were the key blows in a seven run 2nd, while a Reggie Jackson grand slam topped off a five run 5th, as the Athletics destroyed the expansion Pilots 12-0. Starting pitcher Chuck Dobson became the first A's pitcher to pass double digits in wins, allowing just 6 hits and 2 walks while striking out 9 in the route going victory.

Wednesday July 2nd: Athletics 1 Pilots 0
Starting pitcher Blue Moon Odom picked up right where Chuck Dobson left off yesterday, allowing just 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 8, as Oakland slipped past Steve Barber and the Pilots 1-0. A first inning RBI single by Dick Green proved to be the lone run of the ballgame for the A's who managed just 5 hits off of sore luck loser Steve Barber.

Thursday July 3rd: Athletics 15 Pilots 11
In a game that saw the teams combine for 34 hits, 26 runs, 5 stolen bases, and 3 errors, it was the Athletics who came out on top, defeating the Seattle Pilots by the score of 15-11, completing the three game sweep. Leadoff man Bert Campaneris had a tremendous ballgame for the A's, going 4 for 6 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and 4 runs scored, but left the game in the top of the 9th with an apparent hand injury. The A's also lost reserve outfielder Mike Hershberger to a possible separated shoulder. For the Pilots, CF Tommy Harper went 5 for 5 with a double, 3 stolen bases, 2 RBI, and 2 runs scored.
