Frank Robinson hit the 545th homer of his career and moved past Harmon Killebrew of the Twins into fourth place on the major leagues' all-time list as the Angels defeated the Tigers, 10-2. Robinson hit his homer off Woodie Fryman with two men on base in the second inning. Mike Epstein also had a round-tripper for the Angels. Nolan Ryan, in beating the Tigers for the fourth time this season, allowed only five hits including a homer by Mickey Stanley. [The Sporting News]
