The Angels responded in the bottom half of the inning when Brian Downing and Fred Lynn hit back-to-back doubles to give California a 2-1 lead.

Game #354 - Milwaukee Brewers, 10 @ Chicago White Sox, 2
I don't think there's been a worse offense in Statis Pro this season than the Milwaukee Brewers, but they busted out the whipping sticks against the White Sox. Eight of their nine starters recorded two hits, with a grand total of 17 for the game. Only three of those went for extra bases, but they added five walks on the way to the victory. Not only did Chicago suffer a terrible loss, they will also be without the services of Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk for the next 20 games. Fisk took a foul ball off the hand from the bat of Cecil Cooper and had to exit the game. Joel Skinner will replace Fisk on the roster, but the South Side is now missing one of their biggest offensive threats.
Winning Pitcher - Don Sutton
Losing Pitcher - Richard Dotson
Player of the Game - Dion James, 2-5, bases clearing double in the fourth inning that started the route
Hall of Famers in the Game - Robin Yount, Don Sutton, Carlton Fisk
