The Angels erupted for nine runs in the seventh inning to clinch a 12-1 trouncing of the Indians as Clyde Wright gained his 17th victory to became the second biggest winner in the club's history, Ironically, Dean Chance, who won 20 games for the Angels in 1964, was the Indians' loser, giving up three runs in the second inning before going out for a pinch-hitter.

The Angels sent 14 men to bat in the seventh against Rick Austin, Vince Colbert and Steve Mingori in their most productive inning since enjoying a 12-run frame against the Red Sox April 30, 1968. Jim Spencer, Jay Johnstone and Jim Fregosi each drove in two tallies during the outburst. [The Sporting News]
