Jackie Thompson got the win, improving to 9-7. He worked 7.2 innings, giving up 5 runs on 10 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 5. Earning his 3rd save of the year was Ed Jackson.

Los Angeles second baseman Bill Bell helped the Stars go up, 6-5, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Bell hit a run-scoring single off Cleveland pitcher Charlie Sawyer.
