Pounding out 18 hits, the Angels trounced the A's, 16-5. Lyman Bostock and Don Baylor led the attack. Bostock had an RBI single in the second inning and a bases-loaded triple in the fourth frame. Baylor had a two-run double in the first inning and RBI single in the fourth.

A's second baseman Mike Edwards set an A.L. record with unassisted double plays in the first and fourth innings. No major league player had accomplished this feat since 1899. [The Sporting News]
