Three-hit pitching by Bart Johnson and a three-run double by Pat Kelly featured the White Sox' 5-0 victory over the Angels. In the second inning, Jim Spencer singled and Brian Downing was safe when Bobby Bonds dropped his fly ball. Bucky Dent singled to score Spencer. After Bill Stein walked to load the bases, Kelly cleared the sacks with his two-bagger. [The Sporting News]
