An error by Jim Rice allowed the Angels to score two unearned runs for the winning margin in an 8-6 victory over the Red Sox, who were stopped on their seven-game winning streak. With the Red Sox leading, 5-4, Dan Ford opened the Angels' fifth inning with a single and Rod Carew walked.

Don Baylor singled, scoring Ford. Joe Rudi also singled, driving in Carew, and when Rice let the ball roll through his legs in left field, both Baylor and Rudi crossed plate on the error. [The Sporting News]
