Frank Tanana, who had not been a winner since July 3, regained his shutout form and pitched the Angels to a 5-0 victory over the Orioles. The ace southpaw allowed only three hits in posting his seventh shutout and 13th victory of the season.

The Angels nicked Ross Grimsley for a run in the second on a pass to Don Baylor and double by Rance Mulliniks before knocking out the Orioles' starter while adding their other tallies in the third on a single by Gil Flores, homer by Bobby Bonds, double by Baylor, single by Dave Chalk and double by Mario Guerrero.
