Three-hit pitching by Ed Figueroa featured the Angels' 6-1 victory over the Red Sox. Mickey Rivers, who stole three bases during the game, walked in the first inning, pilfered second, reached third on a wild pitch and scored the Angels' initial run on a grounder by Joe Lahoud. A pass to Tom Egan, wild throw by Tim Blackwell when Morris Nettles hit a tap in front of the plate and a sacrifice fly by Billy Smith added a run in the second.

The Red Sox picked up their counter in the home half of the second on a single by Jim Rice and double by Doug Griffin, but the Angels pulled away with a pair in the fifth. Nettles doubled and counted when Jerry Remy singled. Remy stole second, continued to third on Blackwell's second wild throw of the game and scored on a single by Rivers. Smith doubled in the eighth to drive in the Angels' final pair. [The Sporting News]
