The Yankees, who collected only four hits off Tommy John and lost the first game of a doubleheader, 2-0, came back to beat the White Sox in the second game, 7-5, Both Chicago runs in the lidlifter were virtual gifts, one resulting from an error in the third inning and the other scoring when Ken Berry was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the eighth.
