The Angels spoiled the A. L. debut of John Denny by pounding out an 8-3 victory over the Indians. The Angels' assault was led by Joe Rudi, who drove in three runs with a single and bases-loaded walk. Don Baylor doubled home a run in the third inning and singled home another in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
