Vida Blue worked his way out of two bases-loaded jams and pitched the Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Angels. The A's staked their southpaw to a two-run lead in the first inning on a triple by Joe Rudi, double by Reggie Jackson and single by Angel Mangual. Rudi doubled and Mike Epstein singled for the other run in the third.
