Victimized by two unearned runs, Wilbur Wood was turned back in a bid for his 25th victory and suffered his 14th defeat instead when the White Sox lost to the Angels, 3-1. In the second inning, Bob Oliver struck out but reached first safely on a passed ball. Doug Howard forced Oliver and then scored when Leroy Stanton singled and Luis Alvarado booted the ball chasing it in short left field. In the third, Andy Messersmith beat out a bunt, stole second, advanced to third on Alvarado's error in failing to cover the base and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Sandy Alomar.
