Pitching the Angels' second straight two-hitter, Bill Singer defeated the Orioles, 3-1. Bob Oliver, who drove in the Angels' run in the 1-0 victory behind Rudy May in the previous night's game, again was the hero with the bat, accounting for two RBIs with a homer and single. The Orioles picked up their tally in the first inning on a triple by Al Bumbry and a throwing error by Bobby Valentine. [The Sporting News]
