Scattering six hits, the Angels' Mike Witt blanked the White Sox, 6-0. The Angels scored in the fourth inning when Rod Carew singled, stole second and came in when third baseman Jim Morrison booted a grounder by Don Baylor. Baylor stroked an RBI single in the sixth and the Angels scored four runs in the eighth on RBI singles by Baylor and Bobby Grich and a two-run single by Brian Downing. [The Sporting News]
