Thursday June 11, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Taking advantage of fielding errors, the Angels beat the Red Sox, 7-2, for their fourth straight victory and eighth in the last 10 games. Rod Carew opened the Angels' first with a single and Rick Burleson walked. Carew scored on a single by Fred Lynn, who was making his first appearance against his old mates.

Dan Ford hit a comebacker to Chuck Rainey, but Rainey's throwing error loaded the bases. Burleson scored as Larry Harlow forced Ford, Ed Ott singled to score Lynn, and Harlow scored when Rick Miller overran the ball in center field. [The Sporting News]
