Carney Lansford drove in four runs with a homer and a single as the Angels outslugged the White Sox, 11-7. Lansford homered with two men on base to highlight a five-run first inning and singled in a run as the Angels batted around in the fourth. Eric Soderholm hit a pair of round-trippers for the Pale Hose, who knocked out Nolan Ryan after two-thirds of one inning. [The Sporting News]
