Alex Johnson collected three singles, driving in two runs, and Clyde Wright gained his 19th victory with the help of Andy Messersmith as the Angels defeated the Royals, 3-1. Wright gave up the Royals' run in the second inning on singles by Ed Kirkpatrick, Ellie Rodriguez and Rich Severson. Singles by Joe Azcue, Sandy Alomar and Tony Gonzalez produced the tying run for the Angels in the third. After Alomar stole his 32nd base of the season, Johnson sent the Angels ahead with a single. The last run followed in the fifth when Jim Fregosi doubled and Johnson singled.
