The Indians gained their 10th straight victory in Anaheim Stadium since July 18, 1973, when they defeated Nolan Ryan, 9-2. to complete the sweep of a three-game series with the Angels. Buddy Bell and John Lowenstein each drove in three runs. Bell homered with a man on base in the third inning, but the Angels came back with a two-run single by Tommy Harper in their half for the only scoring off Eric Raich, who gained his first major league victory.

The Indians finally broke the tie with four runs off Ryan in the seventh. Oscar Gamble doubled and both runners were safe when Jerry Remy threw late to third on a grounder by Frank Duffy. With one away, Gamble beat the throw home by Bruce Bochte on a grounder by Alan Ashby. Bell brought Duffy home with a sacrifice fly and Lowenstein then capped the outburst with a two-run homer. The Indians added three runs off reliever Dick Lange for good measure in the ninth inning. [The Sporting News]
