Tommy Harper scored one run and drove in another to lead the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Angels. Harper doubled to lead off the first inning and crossed the plate on a single by Carl Yastrzemski. A pass to Rick Miller and singles by Doug Griffin and Harper added what proved to be the deciding run in the second. Roger Moret, who gained his sixth straight victory, needed help in the eighth after the Angels picked up their run on a single by Jeff Torborg, pass to Ken Berry, an error by Yastrzemski on a pickoff throw, and a wild pitch.
