Tommy John, who was tagged for 10 hits, including two homers, in 4 2/3 innings, was handed his fifth straight defeat when the Indians beat the White Sox, 6-5. An error by the White Sox southpaw led to two unearned runs for the Indians in the first inning. After a single by Tony Horton and double by Roy Foster plated two more runs in the third, Horton and Ray Fosse hit homers to wind up the Tribe's scoring in the sixth. The White Sox had a homer by Carlos May. [The Sporting News]
