Bart Johnson, who hit a single to spark a three-run outburst in the seventh inning, gained his first victory of the season when the White Sox defeated the Yankees, 5-1. Ed Herrmann of the White Sox and Roy White of the Yankees hit homers, both in the sixth. After Johnson's leadoff single in the seventh, the White Sox loaded the bases and Bill Melton broke the tie with a two-run single. Gail Hopkins added a single to drive in another run.
