With three hits in three official trips, Bruce Bochte drove in one run and scored two to pace the Angels to a 4-3 victory over the Royals. In the third inning, after a single by Bochte and double by Mickey Rivers, Leroy Stanton batted in both runners with a two-bagger. Bochte doubled in the fourth and scored on a single by Rivers. What proved to be the deciding run followed in the eighth on a single by Bobby Valentine, sacrifice by Ellie Rodriguez and single by Bochte. Amos Otis had three hits for the Royals, including a double and homer. [The Sporting News]
