The Los Angeles Angels and Portland Beavers played an exciting game.

In the bottom of the second, Gene Lillard hit a 2-run home run. The 13th home run of the season for the Los Angeles third baseman put the Angels on top, 2-0.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Los Angeles skipper Al Borie.
