The one-hit pitching of Chuck Dobson in first game and two-run homers by Blue Moon Odom and Don Mincher in the second game featured the Athletics' sweep of a doubleheader with the White Sox, 5-1 and 5-2. After Luis Aparicio walked in the first inning, Gail Hopkins singled for the only hit off Dobson. Aparicio took third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Bill Melton. Tito Francona drove in two runs for the A's with a pair of singles.
