Monday July 19, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Undaunted by a reported $1,000 fine for rowdyism on the Indians' bus Saturday, Sam McDowell took his regular turn and pitched a seven-hitter to defeat the Angels, 3-1. The game was scoreless until the ninth inning when McDowell and Ted Uhlaender beat out infield hits, forcing the exit of Rickey Clark.

After Dave LaRoche relieved, Vada Pinson forced McDowell, but Graig Nettles singled to load the bases. Chris Chambliss walked to force in the first run. An error by Sandy Alomar admitted another tally and the third run scored on a grounder by Eddie Leon. McDowell lost his bid for a shutout when the Angels picked up an unearned run in their half of the ninth. [The Sporting News]
