Bob Oliver, capping a hot month of May, drilled a three-run homer in a seventh-inning rally that carried the California Angels to a 7-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox yesterday.
RBI Total
Oliver hiked his RBI total for the year to 29 with his seventh homer, which came off veteran reliever Bob Bolin, 1-1.
Bolin took over for Boston starter John Curtis after Vada Pinson and Lee Stanton singled with one out in the seventh. Frank Robinson greeted Bolin with a run-scoring single and Oliver followed with his decisive blast, enabling the Angels to salvage the finale of a three-game series.
The Red Sox jumped on California starter Rudy May for a 5-0 lead after four innings.
