A two-out single by Leo Cardenas in the 11th inning scored pinch-runner Curt Motton from second base and gave the Angels a 1-0 victory over the White Sox in a duel between Rudy May and Tom Bradley. Art Kusnyer started the 11th with a one-out single and advanced on a sacrifice by May. After Motton came in to run for Kusnyer, the White Sox walked Sandy Alomar intentionally to get at Cardenas, who laced a single down the right field line. [The Sporting News]
