With Tommy John pitching a three-hitter, the White Sox defeated the Royals, 6-1. A homer by Ellie Rodriguez produced the Royals' run in the second, but the White Sox came back with a pair in their half on a double by Ed Herrmann, safe bunt by Ken Berry, a hit batsman, a walk to Tommy McCraw and sacrifice fly by Luis Aparicio. In the seventh, after another run counted on a double by McCraw and singles by Aparicio and Gail Hopkins, Carlos May climaxed the scoring with a homer.
