Dave Chalk drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Leroy Stanton singled in another to make up for a called-back Tommy Harper homer and give the Angels a 6-3 victory over the Orioles. The score was 3-3 in the fifth when Jerry Remy opened the frame with a walk and Mickey Rivers singled him to third. Harper batted next and hit a line drive into the left field stands that third base umpire Ron Luciano called fair. Luciano was overruled by plate ump Armando Rodriguez.

Angel manager Dick Williams vigorously argued and was thrown out of the game. He announced he was playing the game under protest. Remy and Rivers went back on the basepaths and Harper struck out. Chalk's sacrifice fly and Stanton's single then brought the runners in for a second time. Bill Singer pitched the distance for the Angels, yielding eight hits -- five of them in the third inning when the Orioles scored their three runs. [The Sporting News]
