. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A loser of eight previous decisions over three seasons, Andy Hassler gained the first victory of his major league career when the Angels broke loose with a 17-hit attack to defeat the Rangers, 10-2. Hassler allowed three hits before his arm stiffened, forcing his removal with one out in the eighth inning. Skip Lockwood finished. The Angels doomed Jackie Brown to defeat in the first inning when Frank Robinson and Leroy Stanton each hit a two-run homer. [The Sporting News]
