The Indians downed the Angels, 8-3, behind the combined pitching of Rick Waits and Jim Kern. The Angels opened up a two-run lead in the second inning with singles by Don Baylor and Brian Downing wrapped around a triple by Joe Rudi.

But the Tribe retaliated with three in the third on a walk to Duane Kuiper, double by Tom Veryzer, triple by Rick Manning and single by Buddy Bell. In the fourth frame, Bernie Carbo led off with a single and Gary Alexander drew a walk. That sent starter Don Aase to the showers. After Ted Cox sacrificed, Kuiper doubled off reliever Tom Griffin to plate two more runs. [The Sporting News]
