Ken Forsch pitched a three-hitter and Butch Hobson and Dan Ford belted solo homers to pace the Angels to a 3-0 blanking of the Blue Jays. Hobson's clout came in the fifth inning and gave California a 1-0 lead. Ford's blast came in the ninth and the Angels added another run later in that frame on an RBI double by Butch Hobson.
