Angels 8, Mariners 3 at California (night game):
The Angels spoiled Maury Wills' debut as Seattle manager by handing the Mariners their 10th straight loss, 8-3.

They added three more markers in the eighth on a run-scoring single by Larry Harlow and two-run triple by Carney Lansford.

Indians 11, Blue Jays 5 at Cleveland (night game):
Two-run homers by Joe Charboneau and Jorge Orta and solo shots by Bo Diaz and Rick Manning powered the Indians to an 11-5 scalping of the Blue Jays.

In the second game, Lee Mazzilli blasted a two-run homer for the Mets in the fourth inning and Jerry Morales connected with the bases empty in the sixth. Mark Bomback, Dyar Miller and Neil Allen combined on a six-hitter, with Allen getting the save, and stopped Dawson's hitting streak at 19 games.
