Tuesday May 12, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Backed by five double plays, Ken Forsch hurled the Angels to a 4-0 whitewashing of the Brewers. Milwaukee had the leadoff batter on base five times but no runner reached second base. The Angels took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on a run-scoring single by Ed Ott, added two tallies in the fifth on RBI singles by Rick Burleson and Rod Carew and closed out the scoring in the ninth on a run-scoring single by Bobby Clark.
