The White Sox, who have had miserable luck in doubleheaders this season, lost both ends of a bargain bill for the 10th time, bowing to the Angels, 5-0 and 6-3. Clyde Wright gained his 15th victory in the lidlifter, combining on a three-hitter with Mel Queen, who relieved after Wright walked two men with two out in the seventh inning. Alex Johnson and Tom Egan, celebrating their return from three-week military stints, smashed homers.

In the nightcap, the Angels literally walked to victory, scoring three runs in the second inning on passes to Bill Voss, Egan and Tom Murphy with the bases loaded. Bill Melton and Bobby Knoop homered for the White Sox. [The Sporting News]
