Frank Tanana and Don Kirkwood combined on a one-hitter as the Angels defeated the Athletics, 1-0, for their second straight shutout victory over the defending world champions. Ray Fosse singled off Tanana in the sixth inning for the A's lone hit.

Kirkwood relieved with one out in the seventh after Claudell Washington walked and took second on a passed ball. Kirkwood set down the next five batters, gave up a walk to Don Hopkins in the ninth and then retired the side. Orlando Ramirez scored the Angels' run in the third, hitting a single, stealing second, continuing to third on a wild throw by catcher Fosse and scoring on a single by Mickey Rivers.
