A winner as a starter for the first time since May 25, Frank Tanana pitched the Angels to a 7-1 victory over the Yankees. The Angels jumped on Doc Medich for three runs in the first inning. Mickey Rivers singled and scored on a double by Bruce Bochte, who crossed the plate on another two-bagger by Frank Robinson. Joe Lahoud also doubled, but Robinson was thrown out trying to score. However, Bobby Valentine followed with a single to drive in Lahoud.

The Angels kayoed Medich in the third when they added two runs on a single by Bochte, a walk, infield out and single by Valentine. Tanana gave up the Yankees' tally in the sixth on doubles by Lou Piniella and Bill Sudakis. [The Sporting News]
