Don Baylor belted a pair of homers and Geoff Zahn pitched a six-hitter as the Angels recorded their sixth consecutive victory, 5-2 over the Twins. The Angels scored four runs in the first inning on a wild pitch, sacrifice fly by Reggie Jackson and Baylor's two-run blast. Baylor's second circuit swat came with the bases empty in the sixth. Twins rookie first baseman Kent Hrbek clouted his sixth homer of the season, a line shot to right in the fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
