Leroy Stanton, Frank Robinson and Bob Oliver hit two-run homers in support of Dick Lange, who turned in his first complete game in 10 starts for the Angels this season and defeated the Rangers, 8-3. All three of the Rangers' runs came on a pair of round-trippers by Jim Fregosi. Stanton's homer tied the score at 2-2 in the fourth inning and Robinson's drive broke a deadlock in the sixth. Oliver hit his homer and Lahoud drove in two runs with a double when the Angels wrapped up their scoring in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
