Dave Frost pitched a four-hitter and on Baylor drove in his 70th run of the season with a homer as the Angels defeated the A's, 3-0, for their fifth straight victory. Rookie Brian Kingman, making his second start for the A's, allowed five hits but was the victim of wildness when the Angels scored twice in the fourth inning.

Dan Ford singled and Baylor walked to open the stanza. After both runners advanced on a wild pitch, Ford scored on a passed ball and Baylor counted on a sacrifice fly by Willie Aikens. Baylor's homer in the sixth was his 18th of the season and his sixth over a stretch of six games. [The Sporting News]
