Pushing across a run in the bottom of the 10th inning, the Angels edged the Indians, 3-2. Bert Campaneris began the Angels' 10th with a single. Cleveland third baseman Toby Harrah then misplayed Rod Carew's sacrifice bunt and both runners were safe.

After Dan Spillner replaced Sid Monge on the hill for the Indians, Rick Burleson's attempt at a sacrifice bunt resulted in a forceout at third base. But Fred Lynn worked Spillner for a base on balls and Dan Ford then delivered a sacrifice fly to plate the game-winning run. Ford had tied the contest in the ninth with a leadoff homer.
