Jim Fregosi drove in three runs with a homer and Alex Johnson accounted for two with a single and homer to lead the Angels to a 7-4 victory over the Royals. Fregosi hit for the circuit in the second inning after a line drive by Sandy Alomar hit Mike Hedlund on the kneecap and forced the Royals' starter to yield the mound to Jim York. Johnson, who had plated a run with a single in the first, broke a 4-4 tie with his homer in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
