A run-scoring single by Bobby Bonds in the eighth inning gave the Angels a 2-1 victory over the Athletics in a duel between Frank Tanana and Vida Blue. Bill North led off with a homer for the A's run and Bill Melton tied the score with a homer in the seventh. Mario Guerrero singled to open the eighth and gave way to pinch-runner Jerry Remy, who stole second. After a pass to Dave Chalk, Bonds stroked his single. [The Sporting News]
