The White Sox moved out of last place in the West Division with a 5-4 victory over the Angels, who fell back into the cellar. The White Sox jumped on Joe Pactwa for four runs in the second inning, but the Angels came back to tie the score behind the batting of Leroy Stanton, who hit a single and double, driving in two runs and scoring one. Ken Henderson then decided the game in favor of the White Sox by hitting a homer in the seventh inning. [The Sporting News]
