Alex Johnson, who figured in the scoring of all the Angels' runs, homered in the seventh inning to provide the deciding marker in a 3-2 victory over the Orioles. Johnson walked with the bases loaded to force in the Angels' first run and scored the second after reaching base on a rare error by Brooks Robinson. However, Robinson batted in both of the Orioles' runs with a double in the fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
