A four-run eruption in the fifth inning, keyed by a two-run homer by Bobby Grich, carried the Angels to a 6-3 triumph over the Brewers. The Angels trailed, 3-2, when Rod Carew and Rick Burleson began the fifth with singles.

A sacrifice fly by Don Baylor drove in Carew and, one out later, Grich clouted his fifth round-tripper of the season. Bobby Clark followed with a double and scored when Brewers shortstop Ed Romero fired low to first after fielding a grounder by Juan Beniquez. [The Sporting News]
