A pinch-double by Chuck Hinton was the key blow as the Indians scored twice in the seventh inning to beat the Angels, 2-0. Rich Hand and Dennis Higgins, who relieved with one out in the eighth, combined to pitch the shutout. Rudy May, hurling for the Angels, yielded only two hits until the seventh when Tony Horton singled, Jack Heidemann beat out a bunt and Hinton delivered his double for a run to break the scoreless duel. After Mel Queen relieved, Hand bunted and Heidemann beat Queen's throw to the plate. [The Sporting News]
