Leroy Stanton, after tying the score with an infield grounder in the 12th inning, singled with the bases loaded in the 13th to give the Angels a 4-3 victory over the Indians. The Indians went ahead, 3-2, in the 12th on singles by Alan Ashby and Duane Kuiper around a sacrifice and an infield out. But in the Angels' half, Bobby Bonds singled, raced to third on a wild pitch and scored the tying run on Stanton's grounder.

Then in the 13th, Jerry Remy walked and Rusty Torres sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Bonds, Dave Collins struck out. The Indians then decided to pass Bruce Bochte intentionally in order to get at Stanton, but the Angels' outfielder delivered a single for his only hit of the game to drive in the winning run.
