The Angels rapped George Brunet, their former teammate, for nine hits and four runs before routing the lefthander in the fifth inning and defeated the Senators, 5-3. Jim Spencer drove in two runs with a pair of singles. Joe Azcue accounted for the Angels' last run with a homer in the ninth. Frank Howard homered for the Senators, who threatened to overtake the Angels in the ninth, but Paul Doyle saved the game by inducing Ed Stroud to ground into a double play with the bases loaded.
