Singles by Bruce Bochte and Mario Guerrero around a sacrifice by Dave Collins produced a run in the 10th inning and enabled the Angels to defeat the White Sox, 2-1. Manager Dick Williams of the Angels, who had Gary Ross warming up to start, inadvertently wrote the name of Nolan Ryan on the lineup card.

Under the rules, Ryan had to take the mound. After warming up hurriedly, Ryan retired Chet Lemon, the White Sox leadoff batter, on his second pitch and then left the game in favor of Ross. [The Sporting News]
