Although calling on three different pitchers in the ninth inning, the Indians were unable to halt a rally by the White Sox, who scored two runs to gain a 5-4 victory. Duane Josephson and Syd O'Brien singled off Dick Ellsworth. After Fred Lasher relieved, Luis Apariclo beat out an infield hit to load the bases and pinch-hitter Gail Hopkins singled to score pinch-runner Tommy McCraw. Phil Hennigan then came in to pitch to Bill Melton, who hit a sacrifice fly to drive in O'Brien with the winning run.
