Andy Etchebarren, who batted in two runs with a single in the fourth inning when the Orioles took a 4-0 lead, smashed a homer in the seventh to provide the winning run in a 5-4 victory over the Angels. In the fourth, a double by Bobby Grich, fumble of a hit by Billy Cowan and an infield out by Paul Blair started the Orioles' scoring. A pass to Frank Robinson, single by Boog Powell and double by Merv Rettenmund added another tally. After an intentional pass to Brooks Robinson, Etchebarren rapped his two-run single.
