Three hits by Brian Downing, including a home run, paced the Angels to a 5-3 triumph over the Red Sox. The Angels took the lead in the first inning on a double by Rod Carew and single by Don Baylor, and scored two more runs in the second inning on consecutive doubles by Downing and Carney Lansford and a single by Rick Miller. In the third Joe Rudi singled and Downing clouted his homer. [The Sporting News]
