The fading Rangers were pinned with their eighth defeat in the last nine games, while the Angels ended a three-game spin behind the six-hit hurling of Bill Singer and the power hitting of Charlie Sands and Paul Schaal, 8-4. Sands got California in front, 1-0, with a bases-empty blast in the second, his first of the year and second in the major leagues. Schaal wrapped up a four-run Angel fourth with a two-run homer, which gave California a 5-2 lead. Jeff Burroughs hit a solo homer, his seventh four-bagger of the year, for the Rangers in the fifth, but the Angels scored two more in the top of the sixth and Singer went on to post his fifth victory against two defeats.
