| Completing the three-game series sweep, the Angels slaughtered the Royals, 14-2. Don Baylor hit a three-run homer and Dan Ford a two-run circuit clout to highlight a 10-run eighth inning. Baylor also had a solo swat and Ford a two-run homer in the third frame. Ryan struck out 10 batters for the eighth time this season in going the route on a four-hitter. [The Sporting News] |
