Ex-reliever Rich Gossage went the route for the White Sox to post a 7-1 victory over the Angels, Chicago's ninth straight win. Catcher Brian Downing singled home two runs in the eighth after logging four RBIs against the Angels the previous night. Pat Kelly walloped a two-run homer and Jim Spencer drove in two runs with a single during the Chisox' four-run ninth. [The Sporting News]
