The Alou brothers, Matty and Felipe, combined for a run in the 10th inning to give the Yankees a 4-3 victory over the Angels. Mel Stottlemyre, who was the winner, beat the Angels for the 12th straight time since June 30, 1967, and for the 19th time in 22 career decisions. Stottlemyre's string of 46 innings of scoreless pitching against the Angels was broken with a run in the first on a walk, infield out, wild pitch and sacrifice fly by Frank Robinson.

When the Angels picked up two runs in the seventh for a 3-1 lead, Stottlemyre was in danger of losing, but the Yankees counted once in the eighth and tied the score in the ninth when Jim Ray Hart was safe on an error, Graig Nettles doubled and Thurman Munson singled. In the 10th, Matty Alou singled, took third on a single by Bobby Murcer and scored on a sacrifice fly by Felipe Alou. [The Sporting News]
