Villamil was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Los Angeles reliever Mark Evert picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Pat Thornton was saddled with the loss. Fred Wild converted his 16th save in 23 tries.

Los Angeles second baseman Ken Frederick delivered a 2-run home run in the top of the third. Overall, he went 3 for 5, picking up 1 home run, 1 single, and 1 double. He scored 1 run and knocked in 3.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Frederick said after the game.

The 4th-place Blockbusters are 66-73.
