The batting of Bert Campaneris and Joe Rudi, together with three hitless innings of winning relief by Mudcat Grant, enabled the Athletics to defeat the White Sox, 8-5. Campaneris homered with a man on base in the third and drove in two more runs with a double in the fourth. Rudi added a two-run homer in the fifth as the A's beat Barry Moore, who made his first start for the White Sox since being obtained from the Indians. [The Sporting News]
