Luis Tiant pitched a shutout, but it took two misjudged flies and an error for the Red Sox to defeat the Angels, 3-0. In the second inning, Angels' right fielder Joe Lahoud failed to catch up with a fly by Tim Blackwell and the ball went for a triple, scoring Rico Petrocelli, who had singled. Cecil Cooper walked in the third and raced home on center fielder Mickey Rivers' misjudgment that resulted in a double for Bernie Carbo. Petrocelli walked in the eighth and scored with two out when Dave Chalk booted a grounder by Tommy Harper. [The Sporting News]
