Although weakening in the last two innings, Tom Murphy was able to last the route and pitched the Angels to a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox. Jim Spencer and Billy Conigliaro singled and Ken Berry doubled for the Angels' initial run in the second.

Sandy Alomar doubled in the seventh and scored on a single by Roger Repoz. A wild throw home by Billy Conigliaro enabled Repoz to reach third and Ken McMullen singled him across with the deciding run. [The Sporting News]
