With batting help from Ed Herrmann and Luis Alvarado, who drove in two runs apiece, Wilbur Wood became a 17-game winner, pitching the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Angels. Herrmann batted in his runs with a single in the fourth inning. After homers by Ken Berry and Jack Hiatt tied the score, Carlos May and Mike Andrews walked in the eighth and Alvarado drove them home with a triple to give Wood his winning margin.
