Driving in five runs with a homer, double and single, Bobby Clark led a 15-hit barrage as the Angels administered a 15-1 thrashing to the Tigers. Clark tied the game at 1-1 with his round-tripper in the second inning, doubled home two runs to make the score 4-1 in the third and singled home two runs in a five-run eighth. Don Baylor belted a three-run homer in the sixth and Bobby Grich blasted a two-run circuit clout later in that frame. [The Sporting News]
