The Angels erupted for consecutive homers by Bobby Bonds, Don Baylor and Ron Jackson in the second inning and breezed to a 6-0 victory over the Orioles behind the six-hit pitching of Frank Tanana. Ross Grimsley was the victim of the Angels' barrage, serving up the homers on just seven pitches. Rudi added a round-tripper in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
