The Angels took the first game of a twi-nighter from the Tigers, 4-2, in 11 innings, but the Tigers came back to win the second game, 5-0. In the first game, the score was 2-2 going into the top of the 11th inning when Carney Lansford led off with a two-base hit. He was wild-pitched to third by Kip Young, who was making his major league debut, and scored when Lyman Bostock drilled a hit off second baseman Steve Dillard's glove. A walk to Joe Rudi moved Bostock to second and he scored on a single by Brian Downing.

In the second game, Jack Billingham tossed a seven-hitter and was never in serious trouble. Rusty Staub plated two in the first with a double and hit a solo homer in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
