The Twins, the last major league club to go undefeated this season, had their 4-0 record spoiled by a 3-2 loss to the Angels, who scored all their runs in the fourth inning with the aid of an error. Jay Johnstone doubled to open the stanza, Roger Repoz walked and Joe Azcue beat out an infield hit to load the bases. Aurelio Rodriguez grounded to Rod Carew, who threw poorly to second, Johnstone scoring. Repoz crossed the plate while the Twins were executing a double play on a grounder by Rudy May. Sandy Alomar then beat out a bunt to score Azcue with what proved to be the winning run.
