Graig Nettles hit homers in two successive times at bat and drove in three of the Yankees' runs in a 4-1 victory over the Angels. Don Gullett held the Angels to four hits. The Angels, who were blanked by Ed Figueroa in the previous night's game, 3-0, avoided a second successive shutout by scoring in the ninth inning on a pass to Joe Rudi and singles by Bobby Bonds and Ron Jackson.
