Yesterday, Oakland’s Bob Feller almost didn’t make it out of the first inning. Today, Oakland did the same to Boston’s Jim Palmer. Palmer allowed 4 hits, 4 walks, and hit a batter without recording an out. Catfish Hunter stopped the bleeding, as Rickey Henderson made a great catch and threw Minnie Miñoso out at the plate to turn the tide. Hunter allowed 3 runs in 7 innings of work. Oakland’s Hank Greenberg was 2 for 5 with a homer and 3 RBI for the Jacks. Jacks starter Mike Mussina allowed just 2 runs in 7 innings to pick up his 5th win. With the 10-4 victory, Oakland snapped their 4-game losing streak and improved to 13-15. Boston fell to 17-11.
