Bill Singer, who underwent arm surgery during the 1974 season, gained his first victory since last May 31 when the Angels defeated the White Sox, 6-5. Wilbur Wood, who suffered his fourth straight setback, was matched in a 2-2 duel with Singer until the seventh inning when the Angels broke away with three runs. Ellie Rodriguez doubled and scored on a single by Jerry Remy and an error on the hit by Bill Sharp in right field. Remy stole second and advanced to third on a safe bunt by Orlando Ramirez. After Ramirez stole second, both runners scored when Jorge Orta booted a grounder by Morris Nettles.

The Angels added what proved to be the winning run in the eighth with the aid of an error and passed ball by Brian Downing. Singer was lifted when the White Sox rallied for three runs in the home half of the eighth. However, only one of their five runs in the game was earned. [The Sporting News]
