A grand slam by Joe Rudi capped a five-run first inning and led the Angels in a 9-2 thumping of the Royals. Rick Miller and Bobby Grich walked to start the game and a double by Lyman Bostock scored Miller. Don Baylor walked to load the bases, and Rudi, hitting .203 going into the game, crashed his eighth bases-loaded homer of his career.
