Although Andy Hassler allowed only one hit, the Angels' lefthander was the victim of an error by Dave Chalk and lost to the White Sox, 1-0. Lee Richard doubled for the White Sox to open the third inning and Bucky Dent was hit by a pitch.

After an infield out by Dick Allen advanced the runners, Ken Henderson grounded to Chalk, whose throw home hit Richard in the back, allowing him to score. The error was one of three in the game for the Angels' third baseman. Jim Kaat and Terry Forster combined to shut out the Angels. Forster saved the game for Kaat, striking out Frank Robinson with the bases loaded in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
