Making his first start for the Rangers since his recall from Pittsfield (Eastern), David Clyde beat himself with an error in a 3-2 loss to the Angels. The young lefthander allowed only three hits and had a 2-0 lead going into the eighth inning when trouble started with a pass to Andy Etchebarren and single by John Balaz. When Jerry Remy bunted for a safe hit, Clyde overthrew first base, allowing two runs to score. Remy advanced to third on the error and counted the winning run on a single by Mickey Rivers.
