With last-out help from Cy Acosta, Wilbur Wood became an 11-game winner when the White Sox defeated the Angels, 4-1. Wood had the Angels shut out on three hits until the ninth inning before giving up a run on singles by Billy Grabarkewitz, Frank Robinson and Mike Epstein. Acosta, relieving with two out, retired Bob Oliver on a fly to end the game. Nolan Ryan, pitching for the Angels, struck out 13.
