Bobby Grich belted a homer and single to drive in three runs, and Dan Ford collected three hits including a homer to lead the Angels to a 7-3 decision over the Mariners. Grich, hitting .184 entering the game, doubled home a run in the fourth inning and scored on a triple by Butch Hobson. Grich then opened the sixth with a round-tripper and stroked an RBI single in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
