Handing the White Sox their eighth shutout of the season, the Angels posted a 6-0 victory and moved a half-game ahead of the A's in the A.L. West. Frank Tanana became the first eight-game winner in the major leagues.

The Angels got four runs in the first inning. After Bobby Grich and Dave Chalk were both hit by pitches to open the inning, Ron Fairly blooped a double to left for two tallies. A walk to Tony Solaita and one-out single by Lyman Bostock produced a third marker before Rick Miller's two-out single capped the outburst. [The Sporting News]
