Hitting the first grand-slam homer of his major league career, Dan Ford powered the Angels to a 6-4 victory over the Tigers. With the Angels leading, 2-1, Bobby Grich was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning and stopped at second on a single by Willie Davis, who had four hits in the game. Following a sacrifice bunt by Bert Campaneris, the Tigers walked Carney Lansford intentionally in a move that backfired.
