Taking advantage of an error, the Indians scored three unearned runs in the ninth inning to win the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 9-8, and then completed the sweep by beating the Angels in the second game, 10.2. With Rick Miller driving in four runs, the Angels held an 8-3 lead in the opener before the Indians rallied for three runs in the eighth inning. Then, with two out in the ninth, Jorge Orta and Mike Hargrove walked and Toby Harrah was hit by a pitch. Angels third baseman Carney Lansford booted a grounder by Joe Charboneau as two runs scored and Bo Diaz followed with a single to drive in the winning run.

In the nightcap, Charboneau smashed a three-run homer and Rick Manning and Ron Hassey added two-run triples to the Indians' attack. Ross Grimsley, who pitched 5 1/3 innings, received credit for his first victory with the Indians since his acquisition from the Expos on July 11. [The Sporting News]
