Continuing his hot batting, Joe Rudi drove in two runs to help the Angels gain a 4-3 victory over the Orioles. Rudi singled in one of the Angels' two tallies in the first and homered in the fourth. The circuit clout was his fifth in his last eight games and the RBI was his 22nd in his last 23 games.

The Orioles had homers by Larry Harlow and Eddie Murray and tied the score at 3-3 before the Angels put over their deciding run in the seventh when Brian Downing walked and, after a forceout by Dave Chalk, Ken Landreaux and Rick Miller singled. [The Sporting News]
