A single by Ken McMullen in the eighth inning drove in what proved to be the Angels' winning run in a 3-2 victory over the Yankees. McMullen walked in the second frame and scored the Angels' initial run on a single by Tom Egan and sacrifice fly by Roger Repoz. Singles by Jarvis Tatum and Jim Fregosi, together with a forceout by Alex Johnson, added a run in the sixth. Sandy Alomar walked in the eighth and crossed the plate on singles by Bill Voss and McMullen. [The Sporting News]
