The Athletics extended their winning streak to eight games by sweeping a doubleheader with the White Sox, 7-4 and 7-5. Sal Bando, Joe Rudi and Vida Blue hit homers for the A's in the opener. Blue's blow with two men on base in the fourth inning represented the rookie lefthander's first major league hit, but he failed to receive credit for the victory. Rollie Fingers, who relieved with two out in the fifth after the White Sox rallied for three runs, pitched the rest of the way and was the winner, allowing only two hits.
