Tommy John held the Senators to two hits and pitched the White Sox to a 6-0 victory. Syd O'Brien gave John the only run that he needed by hitting his first homer in a White Sox uniform in the third inning. That was the lone hit off George Brunet until the Pale Hose erupted for their other runs in the seventh.

Singles by Luis Aparicio and Carlos May, a sacrifice and a single by Duane Josephson accounted for two tallies. After O'Brien singled, Dick Such replaced Brunet. On Such's first pitch, Ken Berry hit a homer to drive in the last three runs. [The Sporting News]
