Four-hit pitching by Rudy May and Pat Kelly's grand-slam homer in the seventh inning propelled the Orioles to a 6-1 triumph over the Angels. Losing pitcher Nolan Ryan had 11 strikeouts and passed the 300 strikeout mark for the fifth time in his career. Bobby Bonds stole his 30th base in the first inning, marking his record fourth season of 30 thefts and 30 homers. [The Sporting News]
