The Angels got three-hit pitching from Tom Murphy in the first game and a combined two-hitter by Mel Queen and Eddie Fisher in the second game to beat the White Sox in a twi-night doubleheader, 3-1 and 2-1. The White Sox scored off Murphy in the first inning when Syd O'Brien doubled and Bill Melton singled. The Angels tied the game in the fifth on a single by Chico Ruiz, a stolen base and a single by Sandy Alomar. Murphy singled in the seventh, advanced on a sacrifice and scored the leading run on a single by Roger Repoz. The final run in the eighth was unearned.

In the nightcap, the White Sox got their two hits off Queen in the fourth and scored their run on a single by O'Brien, pass to Melton and double by Duane Josephson. Fisher pitched the last three stanzas. The Angels, after counting in the second on a walk to Billy Cowan and singles by Jim Spencer and Ruiz, scored the winning run in the fifth when Jarvis Tatum and Jim Fregosi singled and Alex Johnson hit into a fielder's choice. Alomar, who hit safely in each end of the twin bill, extended his hitting streak to 19 games to exceed the Angels' record set by Bob Rodgers in 1964. [The Sporting News]
