. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The A's scored all their runs in the first four innings and hung on to beat the Angels, 6-4. Mitchell Page drove in single markers in the third and fourth and also swiped his 25th consecutive base. Joe Coleman, with a sore shoulder which made him a doubtful starter, went five innings to gain the victory. The Angels scored all their runs in the sixth, three on a homer by Tony Solaita with two aboard. [The Sporting News]
