Unleashing a 15-hit attack, the Orioles made their record 8-1 on the current road trip by the downing the Angels, 8-6. Larry Harlow had three singles, stole three bases and scored twice. His key hit was a drag bunt single in the fifth with the score tied, 2-2. Harlow then stole second and scored on a single by Eddie Murray.

Singles by Ken Singleton and Lee May loaded the bases and Pat Kelly capped the inning with a two-run single. The Angels' loss was their ninth in the last 10 games, including four of five under new manager Jim Fregosi. Nolan Ryan lost for the third straight time as his ERA soared to 4.15. [The Sporting News]
