After John Hiller retired the side in the ninth inning to complete the Tigers' 5-3 victory in a game that had been suspended the night before, the Angels batted their way to a 7-1 victory in the regularly-scheduled contest. Ed Figueroa limited the Tigers to six hits and the only run off his deliveries was unearned. Joe Lahoud hit two homers for the Angels, driving in four runs.

The Angels scored six times in the third. Bruce Bochte drove in one run with a single before Lahoud hit for the circuit with two men on base. Leroy Stanton followed with a double and Dave Chalk singled. Stanton scored on a wild pickoff throw by catcher John Wockenfuss and Chalk crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Ellie Rodriguez. Lahoud hit his second homer of the game in the ninth to wind up the scoring. [The Sporting News]
