Joe Pactwa, lefthander from Tampico (Mexican), gained his first major league victory when the Angels defeated the Twins, 1-0. Mickey Rivers singled off Bert Blyleven in the fourth inning, stole second and scored the game's only run on a single by Dan Briggs. Pactwa, formerly an outfielder-pitcher in the Yankees' organization, was removed after walking Dave McKay in the eighth inning and Jim Brewer came in to save the rookie's decision.
