Game 3 - Oakland 4  California 1
WP - Keough (3-0)  LP - Knapp (1-1)

Matt Keough kept it rollin' with another complete
game victory, this time shutting down the Angels
4-1.  Keough struck out three but wiggled his way
out of a few jams and now has his ERA at a microscopic
0.67 over three starts.  
Jeff Newman and Dave Revering supplied the power
for the A's, each homering for the second time
this year.


Game 4 - California 4  Oakland 3 
WP - Tanana (1-0)  LP - McCatty (1-1)  S - Clear (2)

Frank Tanana was outstanding as he led this team to
victory and a split of the 4-game series  in Oakland.
Tanana pitched into the eighth, striking out 7 A's.
Mark Clear picked up his second save of the series, and
Don Baylor and Carney Lansford each had 3 hits to pace
the Angels.
Baylor's 5th inning 2-run homer off Steve McCatty
proved to be the winning margin for California.
