The Indians moved into first place in the Eastern Division ahead of the Red Sox when Dick Bosman and Tom Buskey combined on a four-hitter and Buddy Bell singled for the run that beat the Angels, 1-0. Bosman, who pitched 6 1/3 innings, gained his first victory of the season. Ed Figueroa, making his first major league start, was the loser when the Indians produced their run in the fourth on a single by Oscar Gamble, a stolen base and a single by Bell. The defeat was the Angels' sixth in a row under Dick Williams, their new manager. [The Sporting News]
