The Angels outlasted the Brewers, 11-9, in a wild slugfest. A grand slam by Joe Rudi gave the Angels a 4-0 first-inning lead and Rudi drove in another run in the third on a sacrifice fly. The Angels built up an 8-0 lead with three more runs in the fourth frame and scored twice in the seventh on an RBI single by Bobby Grich and a throwing error by Gorman Thomas. The Brewers got five in the eighth on a two-run homer by Thomas and three-run homer by Sal Bando. [The Sporting News]
