Angel Mangual smashed the first grand-slam homer of his major league career for the Athletics' only hit in the first inning when they scored five runs en route to an 8-3 victory over the White Sox. Stan Bahnsen, pitching for the White Sox, walked three batters to load the bases and then passed Pat Bourque to force in the A's first run before Mangual hit his homer. Catfish Hunter shut out the White Sox through eight innings before turning the mound over to Paul Lindblad. The White Sox scored their three runs in the ninth on a walk, error and homer by Brian Downing. [The Sporting News]
