Manager Frank Robinson hit a pair of bases empty homers and the Indians scored a decisive unearned run in the seventh to nip the Angels, 3-2, to end California's winning streak at four games. Robinson's round-trippers came in the second and sixth frames off loser Frank Tanana.

A throwing error by Rudy Meoli allowed Alan Ashby to reach second base in the seventh, from where he scored the winning run on Buddy Bell's two-out single. Indian starter Jim Kern held the Angels to two hits before three singles in the eighth produced the first California run. Reliever Dave LaRoche walked pinch-hitter Winston Llenas to force in a run, but got Bill Sudakis to ground out to end the rally. [The Sporting News]
