The Angels snapped an eight-game losing streak when pinch-hitter Dave Collins drove in two runs with a triple in the eighth inning to beat the Orioles, 3-2. The Angels scored their first run in the sixth on a walk to Dave Chalk and singles by Winston Llenas and Ellie Rodriguez.

Brooks Robinson batted the Orioles ahead with a two-run single in the eighth, but an error by the third baseman then led to his club's defeat. Robinson missed a grounder by Leroy Stanton to open the Angels' half of the eighth. Chalk sacrificed. After a pass to Joe Lahoud, Collins batted for John Balaz and smashed his triple.
