Rudy May, who had pitched three straight shutouts, was stopped on his scoreless streak by the Indians, who defeated the Angels, 10-3. An unearned run ended May's string in the first inning on a leadoff single by Walt Williams, an error and sacrifice fly by George Hendrick. However, the Indians then knocked out May in the fourth.
