Returning to the Angels, luckless Andy Hassler suffered his eighth straight major league defeat, bowing to Doc Medich of the Yankees, 2-1. Hassler, who was called up from Salt Lake City (Pacific Coast), had previously lost three games with the Angels in 1971 and four in 1973. The Angels' run off Medich was unearned in the first inning, scoring on a triple by Mickey Rivers and passed ball by Thurman Munson.

The Yankees tied the score in the third with singles by Jim Mason and Elliott Maddox and sacrifice fly by Lou Piniella. An unearned run then resulted in Hassler's defeat. Munson was safe on an error by Paul Schaal in the fourth and, after taking second when Bill Sudakis walked, scored on a double by Chris Chambliss. [The Sporting News]
