The White Sox, facing Ken Brett for the first time, knocked out their former teammate in the sixth inning and defeated the Angels, 6-2. The White Sox started the scoring against Brett in the second when Eric Soderholm tripled and Jorge Orta homered.

Wayne Nordhagen knocked in a run with a single in the fourth and accounted for another RBI with a double in the sixth when the White Sox scored three runs. Ken Kravec, pitching for the White Sox, yielded a homer by Terry Humphrey in the third and then was lifted in favor of Bart Johnson, who went the rest of the way to pick up the victory.
