Playing without manager Frank Robinson, who was sitting out a three-day suspension, the Indians belted out 13 hits, three by both Frank Duffy and George Hendrick, to turn back the Angels, 9-3. Oscar Gamble singled home two runs in the first and Buddy Bell and Hendrick had RBI singles in the second to kayo California starter Frank Tanana.

Fritz Peterson, who went the route for the victory, faltered briefly in the fourth, giving up a three-run, two-out double to pinch-hitter Winston Llenas which cut the Cleveland lead to one. Charlie Spikes hit his first homer of the season in the top of the fifth and Duffy doubled home a run in the sixth. The Tribe salted it away with three unearned tallies in the ninth, two of them coming home on Ed Crosby's single. [The Sporting News]
