The White Sox snapped their five-game losing streak by breaking loose for six runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Angels, 8-3. Ed Herrmann opened the rally with a double and scored on singles by Bill Sharp and Luis Alvarado. Pat Kelly followed with his first homer of the season for three runs. A walk to Dick Allen, single by Carlos May, double by Mike Andrews and sacrifice fly by Herrmann on his second trip to the plate in the stanza added two more tallies.

Manager Chuck Tanner moved designated hitter Tony Muser to first base, replacing Allen, when the Angels came to bat in the eighth. Under the rule, this terminated the designated hitter role for the White Sox and, as a result, Cy Acosta became the first A. L. pitcher with a time at bat this season, hitting in Allen's place and striking out in the home half of the eighth. [The Sporting News]
