Don Baylor drove in five runs with a double and two singles to pace the Angels to an 11-2 victory over the Twins. Baylor singled in two runs in the third inning, doubled home two more in the seventh and added his fifth RBI with a single in the eighth. Bobby Grich hit a three-run homer in the seventh.

Going the route, Ryan struck out 10, the 119th time in his career he has fanned 10 or more in a game, a major league record. [The Sporting News]
