Dick Allen, who beat the Royals, 2-1, with a two-homer game September 11, smashed another two-run drive to give the White Sox a 2-0 victory over the Angels. Mike Andrews was safe on an error by Ken McMullen with two out in the fifth inning and Allen followed with his homer to pin the loss on Nolan Ryan. [The Sporting News]
