The White Sox collected only three hits off Nolan Ryan but took advantage of three walks in the second inning to defeat the Angels, 3-2.

Eric Soderholm forced Stillman at third and, after Jack Brohamer walked, Jim Essian forced Lemon at the plate. But Ralph Garr then singled, driving in two runs, and Bannister followed with another single to plate the deciding tally. Dave Chalk batted in the Angels' runs with a sacrifice fly and homer.

Tigers 5, Yankees 2 at Detroit (night game):
Two-run homers by Mickey Stanley and Tito Fuentes carried the Tigers to a 5-2 victory over the Yankees, who absorbed their fifth straight defeat. Dave Rozema, who started on the mound for the Tigers, developed a sore shoulder and gave it up to Jim Crawford in the third inning. The Yankees nicked Crawford for a run on three hits in the third, but the Tigers struck back with three runs in the fourth on a single by Rusty Staub, triple by Steve Kemp and Stanley's homer. Fuentes then iced the decision in the fifth with his round-tripper following a double by Tom Veryzer.

Paul Dade scored two runs and batted in one as the Indians posted their sixth straight victory.

Cardinals 4, Dodgers 3 at Los Angeles (night game):

The Cards took a 3-0 lead with the aid of a homer by Keith Hernandez, but the Dodgers pulled close with circuit clouts by Steve Yeager and Bill Russell in the fifth inning before Dusty Baker tied the score with a two-out homer in the ninth. Mumphrey singled in the 10th and moved up on a sacrifice by Mike Tyson, setting the stage for Brock's deciding single.

Willie Montanez accounted for the Braves' runs with a homer in the first. The Mets, after scoring on a wild pitch by Andy Messersmith in the home half of the first, finally knotted the count when Ed Kranepool homered in the ninth.

Dave Kingman hit his first homer in a San Diego uniform, but the blow did nothing more than produce the Padres' first run in a 9-2 loss to the Pirates.
