Although finishing the season with a 14-19 record, Frank Tanana chalked up his fourth shutout and 12th complete game, pitching the Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Athletics. The A's, tuning up for the championship series against the Orioles, used four pitchers.

After Catfish Hunter hurled three scoreless innings, the Angels scored against Ken Holtzman in the fourth on singles by Denny Doyle and Bruce Bochte and a double steal on which Doyle stole home. The other run counted in the sixth on a triple by Leroy Stanton and single by Dave Chalk. [The Sporting News]
