Sewing up the victory, Dave Chalk hit a bases-loaded triple in the seventh inning as the Angels defeated the Orioles, 9-4. After hitting his triple, Chalk also scored when Dave Duncan dropped the throw to the plate. Bobby Bonds, who had been out of action with a broken finger, made his first appearance with the Angels and collected three singles. [The Sporting News]
