The hitting of Ken McMullen and Jim Fregosi paced the Angels to a 6-1 victory over the Orioles. McMullen homered with a man on base in the second inning. Clyde Wright led off the third with a double, moved up on a bunt and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jarvis Tatum. Fregosi followed with a homer. Fregosi and McMullen singled, with McMullen getting credit for his third RBI, when the Angels added two runs in the fifth.

Boog Powell homered to account for the Orioles' marker. Paul Blair suffered a broken nose when hit by a pitched ball in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
