The White Sox erupted for eight runs in the sixth inning, including a grand-slam homer by Ed Herrmann, and outslugged the Red Sox, 13-9. Homers by Mike Andrews and Carl Yastrzemski, together with a two-run single by Reggie Smith, helped the Red Sox to a 7-1 lead before the White Sox exploded in the sixth.

Herrmann started the stanza with a single and the first three runs of the rally counted on a walk, a double by Rich McKinney, single by Walt Williams and double by Syd O'Brien. Walks to Carlos May and Bill Melton forced in another run before Herrmann, on his second trip in the stanza, smashed his grand slam off Chuck Hartenstein. George Scott homered for the Red Sox in the seventh, but the White Sox put the game away with four more runs in their half, three scoring on a circuit clout by May. [The Sporting News]
