Joe Rudi drove in five runs with a grand-slam homer and double to lead the Angels' attack in a 12-5 victory over the Mariners. In addition to Rudi's wallop, the Angels also had solo homers by Ron Jackson, Bob Jones and Don Baylor.

Frank Tanana, who pitched a shutout against the Mariners in the season opener, gained his second victory over the expansion club, pitching six innings and giving up one run on a homer by Juan Bernhardt. Ruppert Jones smashed a two-run drive in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
