A two-run single by Bill North in the eighth inning gave the Athletics enough working room to clinch a 10-7 victory over the Angels and complete a sweep of the three-game series. The A's earlier scored four runs in the first, featuring a homer by Sal Bando with a man on base, and four more in the third that included a two-run double by Phil Garner. [The Sporting News]
