Vida Blue continued his mastery in Anaheim Stadium, allowing only five hits and pitching the Athletics to a 2-0 victory over the Angels. The triumph was Blue's 12th straight in the Angels' park with his only loss coming on July 20, 1969, in his major league debut. Manny Sanguillen, who had three singles, drove in the A's first run in the third inning and Tony Armas capped the scoring with a homer in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
