Jake Gibbs and Danny Cater collected five hits between them and figured in the scoring of three runs to lead the Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the White Sox, who suffered their 10th defeat in the last 12 games. A single by Cater, double by Jim Lyttle and single by Gibbs produced two runs in the second inning. After the Yankees added an unearned run in the third, Roy White walked, reached second on an infield out and scored on a single by Cater in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
