Ken Forsch racked up his second straight shutout on a five-hitter as the Angels routed the Orioles, 10-0. Don Baylor and Bobby Grich gave the Angels a 2-0 lead with solo homers in the second inning. Grich was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to bring home the final marker of a four-run fifth. X-rays revealed that he suffered a fractured bone in his left hand, which will be in a cast from four to six weeks. Don Ford belted a three-run round-tripper in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
