A ninth-inning rally saw the Red Sox score six runs to defeat the Angels, 7-4. Until the ninth, the only Red Sox run came on a homer by Carlton Fisk, while the Angels had circuit clouts by Charlie Sands and Leroy Stanton in building up a 4-1 lead.

Dwight Evans walked and Rick Burleson singled to open the Red Sox comeback. Barry Raziano relieved Dick Lange and retired Dick McAuliffe, but Mario Guerrero doubled to score Evans. After Juan Beniquez beat out an infield roller to load the bases, Cecil Cooper drove in two runs with a single and Fisk added two more with a double. Fisk advanced to third on the throw home and then, following a fly by Carl Yastrzemski, scored on an error by Bob Oliver. [The Sporting News]
