The Angels snapped a 10-game home losing streak, defeating the Rangers, 2-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Don Aase. The Angels scored their initial run in the first inning when Larry Harlow came across as Dan Ford bounced into a bases-loaded double play. The second run came in the eighth on a fielder's choice grounder by Ford. [The Sporting News]
