With the backing of four double plays, Andy Hassler pitched the Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Athletics. Hassler yielded five hits. The Angels collected only four hits off Dave Hamilton and Rollie Fingers, but used them all to their advantage. In the fourth inning, Bruce Bochte singled, moved to second on a bobble of the ball by Reggie Jackson and scored on a single by Dave Chalk. Orlando Ramirez doubled in the fifth, stole third and counted an insurance run on a single by Morris Nettles. [The Sporting News]
