Routing Frank Tanana in less than five innings, the White Sox pounded out a 6-2 victory over the Angels. A double by Wayne Nordhagen and single by Jorge Orta gave the White Sox their initial run in the second. Chet Lemon and Lamar Johnson delivered back-to-back home runs in the third.

An RBI single by Thad Bosley produced a marker in the fourth frame and an RBI single by Bill Nahorodny another in the fifth. It was the fourth straight win for the White Sox and fourth straight loss for the Angels. [The Sporting News]
