Wilbur Wood was the winner over Clyde Wright in a pitching duel when the White Sox scored in the seventh inning to edge the Angels, 1-0. The run was set up with one away when Bill Melton singled. Rick Reichardt, after forcing Melton, stole second. Mike Andrews walked, bringing up Tom Egan, who rapped a single to drive in Reichardt with the game's lone run. [The Sporting News]
