Coming out of the bullpen for his first start of the season, Dick Tidrow pitched six shutout innings and gained an easy victory when the Yankees reached their season high in scoring while beating the Angels, 15-3. Tidrow yielded only two singles. Gil Patterson worked the last three innings. Graig Nettles homered with two men on base, Reggie Jackson tripled with the bases loaded and Mickey Rivers hit a homer and three singles to account for three RBIs in the Yankees' attack.
