Terry Forster batted in two runs with a single in the seventh inning to increase the White Sox lead to 10-6, but the relief pitcher then struggled through the last two stanzas before saving a 10-9 victory over the Angels. In the seventh, Ed Spiezio doubled with two out and, after an intentional pass to Ed Herrmann, Luis Alvarado singled to score Spiezio. Forster followed with his two-run single.

The Angels came back with a run in the eighth and scored twice more in the ninth on a triple by Vada Pinson, who had four RBIs for the game, before Forster racked up his 16th save of the season. [The Sporting News]
