Retiring the final 20 batters, Floyd Bannister fired a two-hitter to lead the Mariners to a 3-0 triumph over the Angels. The only hits yielded by the southpaw were an infield single by Rod Carew in the first inning and a single by Butch Hobson in the third. The Mariners scored in the first inning on an RBI single by Richie Zisk, in the second on a run-scoring single by Jim Anderson and in the eighth on an RBI single by Bruce Bochte. [The Sporting News]
