Angels 9, Indians 6  (6-5)

The Angels won the first game of their doubleheader with the Indians in a game that saw the scoring come in bunches.  The Angels took a 5-2 lead with five runs in second but then the Indians took the lead back with four in the fifth.  Then the Angels won it with three runs in the twelth inning.

Don Mincher and Tom Satriano both scored twice in the win while Len Gabrielson drove in two.  Jay Johnstone and Knoop each had two hits in the game.

Pete Cimino picked up the win with two shutout innings in the eleventh and twelth innings.  He improved to 1-1 on the season.

Angels 2, IndiansJack  1  (7-5)

This game was the exact opposite of the first and the Angels came out on top in a pitchers duel for their fourth straight win.  Jorge Rubio gave up the run and he left in the sixth while Minnie Rojas got the win with two shutout innings.  Jack Sanford picked up his first save with a perfect ninth.

Johnstone had two hits and an RBI and that was the extent of the hitting stars in this one.  An odd note is that Indians pitcher Jack Kralick took the loss in both games of the doubleheader.
