A wild game that produced a total of 37 hits saw the Rangers score three runs in the 11th inning and the Angels come back with four in their half to gain a 12-11 victory. The Rangers routed Bill Singer in the first, scoring six runs. Mike Cubbage capped the outburst with a grand-slam homer for his first major league hit after the rookie second baseman had been collared in 17 previous trips to the plate.

Ironically, an error by Cubbage enabled the Angels to score their winning run. The Rangers broke an 8-8 tie in the 11th with three unearned runs, two coming on a homer by Tom Grieve. In the Angels' counter-rally, John Doherty and Morris Nettles led off with doubles for the first run. Dave Chalk walked and, with two out, Rudy Meoli singled to drive in Nettles. Dave Collins singled for his fifth hit of the game, scoring Chalk with the tying run. Jerry Remy then hit a slow roller to Cubbage, who bobbled the ball, allowing Meoli to count the winning run.
