Smashing five homers, the Senators outslugged the White Sox, 12-7. The Senators scored four unearned runs in the first inning, two coming on a circuit clout by Aurelio Rodriguez. The White Sox forged ahead, 5-4, with Walt Williams contributing a homer, but Frank Howard hit a round-tripper with two men on base in the fourth and Mike Epstein followed with another boundary belt to put the Senators in front, 8-5. Jim French joined the bombardment in the seventh and Del Unser, who had four hits, added a homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
