Frank Robinson moved into 11th place on the major leagues' career RBI list by driving in three runs with a homer and double to lead the Angels to a 4-2 victory over the Rangers. Robinson knocked in one run with his double in the first inning and homered with a man on base in the third to bring his RBI total to 1,637 and go one ahead of the retired Ernie Banks of the Cubs.
