The White Sox combined two walks, three singles and a wild pitch for four runs in the first inning to start them on their way to a 10-3 victory over the Angels. A pass to Pat Kelly and singles by Jay Johnstone and Rich McKinney produced the first run. Johnstone, who took third on McKinney's hit, scored on a wild pitch.

After Bill Melton walked, Ed Herrmann singled to drive in McKinney. Melton then scored the fourth run of the frame when Mike Andrews forced Herrmann. [The Sporting News]
