After serving up a homer by Mike Hargrove with two out in the first inning, Bill Singer yielded only five singles over the remainder of the route and pitched the Angels to a 4-1 victory over the Rangers. The Angels decided the outcome with two runs in the fifth. Singles by Jerry Remy and Morris Nettles around a sacrifice produced the first tally. Nettles took third on a wild throw by left fielder Joe Lovitto and crossed the plate on a single by Tommy Harper. [The Sporting News]
