George Hendrick hit two homers, including the first grand slam of his major league career, and Gaylord Perry pitched a four-hitter as the Indians defeated the Angels, 10-2. Perry struck out nine, raising his career total to 2,114, putting him in 20th place on the all-time list. Hendrick, after rapping a solo swat in the sixth inning, connected for his grand slam off Dick Selma in the eighth when the Indians erupted for eight runs. Charlie Spikes delivered one marker with a single, hitting safely in his 17th straight game. [The Sporting News]
