. . . where the 1970s live forever!

While Frank Tanana was less overpowering than usual, striking out only four, the Angels' lefthander easily defeated the Tigers, 5-1. Jason Thompson homered in the fourth inning for the only run off his deliveries. The Angels broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth. Don Baylor and Joe Rudi singled and both scored on a double by Bobby Bonds, who also crossed the plate on a single by Dave Chalk and infield out by Ron Jackson. [The Sporting News]
