Staked to a three-run lead in the first inning, Sam McDowell pitched the Indians to a 3-2 victory over the White Sox. A double by Vada Pinson, pass to Graig Nettles, double by Roy Foster, single by Ray Fosse and sacrifice fly by Ted Uhlaender produced the Tribe's tallies.

The White Sox nicked McDowell for a run in the eighth on a walk to Rich Morales, a passed ball and a single by Luis Aparicio. In the ninth, after an error and singles by Ken Berry and Bobby Knoop produced another run, Bob Miller walked to load the bases, but McDowell struck out Walt Williams to end the game.
