Angels Blank Sox Behind Messersmith Victory
Mike Messersmith struck out six and walked four to shut down the Chicago White Sox until a seventh inning single by John Marais broke the bid. Fregosi and Johnson combined for six hits as Los Angeles won 6-1, with Johnson extending his hitting streak to 10 games and leading the league in hits. A playful “kangaroo court” fined Fregosi a dollar for not hustling on a first-base hit while Johnson dodged a fines list, and the court spared Johnson’s pockets for team harmony.
