Fine Effort by McCovey Not Enough in 6-5 Coalition Loss
The Philadelphia Athletics weathered an outstanding game by Chi-town first baseman Willie McCovey to topple the Coalition, 6-5. McCovey went 2-3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. José Martínez collected save number 4. The victory puts Philadelphia at 16-29.

Philadelphia relied on the bat of Bill Buckner to get the win. The left fielder ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 6-5. For the game, Buckner had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Buckner, "one at-bat at a time."
