A double by Jarvis Tatum and single by Sandy Alomar in the 16th inning brought the Angels a 2-1 victory over the Red Sox in a four-hour, 14-minute game. Dave LaRoche, called up from Hawaii (Pacific Coast), made his the first major league appearance, retiring Carl Yastrzemski on a grounder with two men on base in the top half of the 16th, and gained the decision.

Ray Culp, who started for the Red Sox, struck out the first six batters to face him, tying the modern major league record. The feat had been accomplished only one previously since 1900, by John Hiller of the Tigers on August 6, 1968. [The Sporting News]
