Frank Tanana struck out nine, increasing his season's total to 237, and did not issue a pass while allowing only three hits and pitching the Angels to a 4-2 victory over the White Sox. Dave Chalk started the Angels' scoring with a homer in the second inning.

Three singles and a double by Dave Collins produced a pair in the fourth before Jim Kaat went out of the game after yielding the Angels' last tally on three singles in the fifth. Lamar Johnson hit his first major league homer for the White Sox in their half of the fifth and Bill Melton added a round-tripper in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
