Mike Paxton and Victor Cruz combined on a six-hitter as the Indians beat the Angels, 5-3. The Indians' first run came in the second inning when Rick Manning walked, advanced to third on a single by Gary Alexander and scored when Angel catcher Brian Downing dropped a throw to the plate after third baseman Carney Lansford fielded a grounder by Ted Cox. Bobby Bonds drove in a third-inning tally with a sacrifice fly. A squeeze bunt by Toby Harrah accounted for a fifth-inning marker and a single by Duane Kuiper in the ninth plated two more.
