The Angels, who lost three times to Billy Wynne last season, got back at the righthander by defeating the White Sox, 6-1, behind the five-hit pitching of Andy Messersmith. Wynne lasted only five innings and gave up three runs, two on a bases-loaded double by Alex Johnson in the third and one on a homer by Ken McMullen in the fourth. Jim Fregosi homered in the ninth to wind up a perfect night at bat for the Angels' infielder. [The Sporting News]
