The White Sox scored five runs in the first inning, including a theft of home by Dick Allen, and defeated the Angels, 7-4. Pat Kelly and Allen hit doubles to produce the initial tally. After a walk to Bill Melton and single by Ken Henderson loaded the bases, Allen broke for home and scored to surprise Nolan Ryan, who uncorked a wild pitch, allowing the other runners to advance.

Mike Andrews followed with a two-run double to kayo Ryan, who failed to strike out a batter in a game for the first time in his major league career. Jorge Orta greeted reliever Steve Barber with a single to plate the fifth run. Bob Oliver batted in three runs for the Angels with a single and triple. [The Sporting News]
