A two-run single by Andre Thornton and solo homers by Bernie Carbo and Johnny Grubb led the Indians to a 5-1 victory over the Angels. Carbo connected in the second inning to give the Tribe a 1-0 lead and Thornton stroked a bases-loaded single in the third to make it 3-0. Grubb homered and Gary Alexander delivered a sacrifice fly in the eighth to end the scoring. [The Sporting News]
