Two-run homers by Dan Ford and Willie Aikens in the eighth inning carried the Angels to a 5-2 victory over the Indians. Bert Campaneris beat out an infield hit ahead of Ford's round-tripper. Don Baylor walked before Aikens hit for the circuit. The Angels played without Rod Carew, who had sprained his thumb, and Rick Miller, who broke a bone in his left hand in the previous night's game.
