And while Reggie Jackson is used to leading his team on offense or in newspaper quotes, this year it is Jackson's leadership in the clubhouse that is most notable. Despite hitting .241 with just 18 RBI's (9th on the team), Reggie seems rejuvenated, and if his smiles are any indication he is having the time of his life so far in the 1986 season. Considering their 44-25 record, it would seem the rest of the Angels are as well.

In the N.L. West, the Padres increaded their lead to 7.5 games over the Astros after their [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=879][u:b3f9f8177b]6-2 win over the Dodgers[/u:b3f9f8177b][/url].
