The Angels exploded for seven runs in the first inning, starting with a homer by Carney Lansford and capping the outburst with another homer by Bobby Grich, to defeat the White Sox, 10-6, for their fifth straight victory. After Lansford's leadoff blow, the Angels added six more runs, two scoring on a bases-loaded single by Merv Rettenmund, before Grich came to the plate and homered with two aboard.
