April is behind us, and Cleveland was excited for that. They responded to the calendar change with seven big runs. Despite Bert Blyleven getting roughed up for four runs in under six innings, the Tribe managed to stay ahead of Baltimore. That included a major jam in the bottom of the ninth, when a sub-optimal Ernie Camacho had runners on first and third with no outs. But Rich Dauer flied out weakly, Gary Roenicke struck out, and Al Bumbry launched one to the warning track, but into Otis Nixon's glove.

Game #286 - Oakland A's, 3 @ California Angels, 12
Oakland is missing the injured Rickey Henderson in their lineup. Though they had a 2-1 lead after four, the Angels combined for 10 runs between the fifth and seventh innings. Many of the Halo's contributed to the win, including a solo homer from Reggie Jackson, but the unusually hot Gary Pettis secured his fourth "player of the game" honors, falling a home run short of the cycle.
Winning Pitcher - Ron Romanick
Losing Pitcher - Lary Sorensen
Player of the Game - Gary Pettis, 4-5, 2B, 3B, 2R's, 4RBI's, BB
