Winston Llenas' sacrifice fly in the ninth scored pinch-runner Mickey Rivers to give the Angels a 1-0 victory over the Tigers. Joe Lahoud blooped a single off Detroit starter Fred Holdsworth to open the ninth, and pinch-runner Rivers was sacrificed to second by Bobby Valentine. John Hiller relieved at that point and issued an intentional walk to Leroy Stanton.

A passed ball by rookie catcher John Wockenfuss with pinch-hitter Bob Oliver at the plate allowed the runners to advance, and Hiller walked Oliver intentionally to the load bases before Llenas hit his sacrifice fly. Frank Tanana shut out Detroit on six hits, striking out nine in hurling his second consecutive blank job. [The Sporting News]
