Reggie Jackson made a triumphant return to Yankee Stadium, sparking the Angels to a 3-1 triumph over the Yankees in a game shortened by rain to seven innings. With the game tied, 1-1, Jackson led off the fifth inning with a single, reched second on a sacrifice, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a suicide squeeze bunt by Bob Boone. Jackson then led off the seventh with a home run. New York fans greeted Jackson warmly and hailed him with signs throughout the park. [The Sporting News]
