The Angels ended their six-game losing streak when Andy Etchebarren drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to defeat the Indians, 3-2. The Indians' runs in the second inning were unearned on errors by Thad Bosley and Terry Humphrey. One of the Angels' tying tallies in the seventh also was tainted on an error by Fred Kendall. In the ninth, Dave Chalk doubled and Gil Flores sacrificed before Etchebarren hit a sacrifice fly to give Nolan Ryan his edge over Wayne Garland. [The Sporting News]
