Frank Tanana, who had one of the worst records in the major leagues, 9-13, pitched six innings of brilliant relief and gained his first victory since May 25 when the Angels defeated the Indians, 11-2. The young lefthander allowed only two hits after taking over from Ed Figueroa. The relief appearance was the third of the season for Tanana, who had started 20 games. The Angels scored three runs in the first and were leading by only 3-2 until the sixth when they broke the game open with four runs. Joe Lahoud then took care of the other Angels' scoring, hitting two-run homers in the seventh and ninth. [The Sporting News]
