Angels Rally For 11-6 Win
California catcher Luis Romero played a vital role in his team's 11-6 triumph over Houston. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for California. The winner in relief was Steve Cooper. He is now 3-1. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 3.2 innings. California is now 89-70, 6½ games up in the American League West Division.

California used the clutch hitting of James McCauley to capture the win. The center fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to give the Angels the lead, 7-5. For the game, McCauley had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," McCauley told the California News.
