Sam Forrester made an impact in the 13-5 Los Angeles win over Boston. Forrester, who finished 2nd in the FA in OPS with .968 in 1973, went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 6. Moe Powell, who went 6 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 5 runs on 9 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 4. His record now stands at 3-1. Los Angeles is now 22-12, Boston 9-20.

With Los Angeles leading 7-5 in the bottom of the fourth, Forrester hit a slider from John Lewis for a grand slam home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and put the Suns ahead, 11-5.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Los Angeles manager Jim Coulter.
