Leroy Stanton smacked two homers, driving in four runs, as the Mariners ruined Gary Nolan's return from the disabled list by defeating the Angels, 6-2. Stanton rapped his first round-tripper of the game with two out in the first inning after Dave Collins and Dan Meyer had touched Nolan for singles.

Steve Braun and Bill Stein followed with singles, Braun taking third on Stein's hit, and the pair then worked a double steal, with Braun scoring the fourth run of the frame. Stanton's second homer, leading off in the third inning, kayoed Nolan. [The Sporting News]
