Angels Defeat Rangers, 5-2
California Angels starter Steve Avery was in fine form against the Texas Rangers at Angel Stadium 1979, leading his team to a win, 5-2. The Angels sit in last place in the American League West Division with a record of 72-82.

The Angels got an important contribution from third baseman Mark Loretta, who in the bottom of the third punched a 2-2 curveball into center for a 2-run double. It was his 38th double of the season and put the Angels ahead, 3-0.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Avery told the California Times. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
