A pickoff play at second base killed a Red Sox threat and enabled the Angels to gain a 1-0 victory behind the pitching of Andy Messersmith and Lloyd Allen. The Angels scored their run off Sonny Siebert in the first inning. Sandy Alomar singled, took third on a single by Mickey Rivers and crossed the plate as Tony Gonzalez bounced into a double play.
