Registering his third victory of the season, Mike Norris hurled the A's to a 4-2 triumph over the Angels. The A's scored in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by Mike Heath and in the third inning when Rickey Henderson walked and raced home from first on a single by Dwayne Murphy. Singles by Jeff Newman, Mario Guerrero and Heath loaded the sacks in the sixth and Mickey Klutts delivered a two-out, two-run single. [The Sporting News]
