GAME SUMMARY: Angel starter Nolan Ryan went the distance and struck out 15 Red Sox hitters en route to a 6-3 victory. The Angels scored first when Dave Chalk singled in Gil Flores. Flores had walked and stolen second. In the top of the fifth, the Red Sox got to Ryan for three runs. Dwight Evans hit a solo homer. Ryan then had a bout of wildness and walked Yaz to force in Denny Doyle to tie the game. Bases loaded. Ryan then hit Jim Rice with a pitch that plated Rick Burleson and finished the scoring. The Angels immediately came back in their half of the inning. Gil Flores, Jerry Remy and Dave Chalk all singled and loaded the bases. Bobby Bonds unloaded them with a grand slam homer over the left field wall that sent the fans into orbit to give the Angels a 5-3 lead they never relinquished. The Angels added an insurance run in the 6th on an RBI single by Dave Chalk that plated Terry Humphrey. Ryan struck out the side in the 7th and 9th to earn his third victory of the season.

GAME SUMMARY: The BoSox got to Angels' starter Frank Tanana for 4 runs in the top of the 6th to break a scoreless tie and the boys from Beantown never looked back in a 9-1 downing of the Angels. In the top of the 6th, the Red Sox had 2 down and 2 on when Tanana hit Carlton Fisk and forced Fisk out of the game with an injury. With the bases loaded, Tanana gave up a run scoring single to George Scott that scored Lynn. Hobson followed with a 2-run double to score Rice and Montgomery. George Scott then scored on an error by 2B Jerry Remy. The Angels got their only run of the game in the bottom of the same inning when Jerry Remy doubled in Gil Flores. The Red Sox plated 5-runs in the 7th. Frank Tanana was chased after giving up a single to Rick Burleson. Reliever Mike Barlow came in and allowed 4 straight singles to Lynn, Yaz, Rice and Bob Montgomery. The singles by Yaz, Rice and Montgomery plated Burleson, Lynn and Yaz. Butch Hobson then drove in his third run of the day with an RBI single that plated Montgomery to put the BoSox up 9-1. Starter Don Aase went the distance for the victors, scattering 7 hits and the only time the Angels seriously threatened him was in the bottom of the 6th, but Aase short-circuited any hope of a rally.
