Setting a new club scoring standard for Anaheim Stadium, the Angels walloped the White Sox, 15-1, with a 16-hit attack that included a single and homer by Frank Robinson, who drove in three runs. Mickey Rivers and Dave Chalk also accounted for three RBIs apiece. The White Sox committed six errors, three by Bill Melton, who accounted for their only run with a circuit clout in the fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
