. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Although yielding only one run, Sam McDowell was charged with a defeat when the southpaw left the game on the short end of a 1-0 score and the Angels picked up another run off reliever Bob Miller to beat the Indians, 2-1. A single by Tommie Reynolds, passed ball and single by Sandy Alomar produced the tally off McDowell in the third inning. Jarvis Tatum followed Alomar with another single to make the run earned.

McDowell suffered a cramp in his left thigh and turned the mound over to Miller, who gave up a run in the sixth on a pass to Ken McMullen and singles by Jim Spencer and Tom Egan. The Indians rallied for their marker in the ninth on singles by Larry Brown, Vada Pinson and Roy Foster. [The Sporting News]
