Climaxing a comeback by the Angels, Dave Chalk smashed a homer in the ninth inning to defeat the Orioles, 8-7. The drive was the fourth of the game for the Angels, who also had a solo swat by Mickey Rivers in the first and back-to-back homers by Bobby Valentine and Frank Robinson in the fourth. The Orioles held a 4-1 lead early in the game and later led, 7-5, but the Angels picked up a run in the seventh on a double by Denny Doyle, a wild pitch and infield out before tying the score in the eighth on a walk to Robinson, a sacrifice and single by Tommy McCraw.
