Mike Norris gained his first victory since being recalled from Tucson (Pacific Coast) when the Athletics defeated the Angels, 8-2. Don Baylor singled and Sal Bando homered in the first inning to provide Norris with an early lead. Bert Campaneris had a perfect night for the A's with 4-for-4 and also drove in two runs.
