Erupting for five runs in the seventh inning, the Angels defeated the Red Sox, 7-3. Homers by Carlton Fisk and Tommy Harper helped the Red Sox take a 3-2 lead before the Angels opened the seventh with the tying tally on singles by Leo Cardenas, Sandy Alomar and Ken Berry. Vada Pinson was safe on an error as Alomar crossed the plate with the go-ahead tally. Bob Oliver then smashed a three-run homer to clinch the Angels' decision. [The Sporting News] |
