The White Sox scored in the first inning on a double by Chet Lemon and single by Richie Zisk, then added a run on a homer by Jim Essian in the second to start on their way to a 4-1 victory over the Angels. Jorge Orta accounted for the last two tallies with a sacrifice fly and single. The Angels' lone run was unearned off Steve Stone. [The Sporting News]
