A brilliant pitching performance by Ed Figueroa, who yielded only two hits and retired 19 straight batters at one stretch, enabled the Angels to defeat the Rangers, 1-0. Fergie Jenkins was the loser on an unearned run in the fourth inning. Bruce Bochte beat out a dribbler to Roy Smalley, raced to third on the shortstop's bad throw and crossed the plate on a single by Joe Lahoud.

Lenny Randle, who singled in the second, was the only Ranger to reach base until Roy Smalley led off the ninth with another single. Then, with two out, Mike Cubbage and Mike Hargrove walked to load the bases, but Figueroa bore down and saved his victory by retiring Jeff Burroughs on a fly ball for the final out.
