A wild throw by Luis Aparicio on what could have been an inning-ending double play enabled the Angels to defeat the White Sox, 6-4. The Angels had homers by Jay Johnstone and Roger Repoz in taking a 4-3 lead, but the White Sox tied the score in the seventh on a double by Aparicio, a wild pitch and sacrifice fly by Duane Josephson.
