After the Angels took a 3-0 lead, Wayne Gross and Mitchell Page batted in two runs apiece to pace the A's to a 6-3 victory, extending their winning streak to three games. Gross homered and Page hit a sacrifice fly to account for their initial RBIs. Then each knocked in a run with a single when the A's erupted to score four times in the fifth inning.
