. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Handed a two-run lead in the first inning, Frank Tanana pitched the Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Blue Jays. With two out in the opening frame, Lyman Bostock singled and raced to third on a wild pickoff attempt by Jim Clancy. After Don Baylor walked and stole second, Joe Rudi drove in both runners with a single. Clancy allowed only two more hits the rest of the way, but it was too late. Tanana also pitched a four-hitter.
