Bill Melton set a White Sox club record with his 30th homer of the season, leading to an 8-4 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Royals came back to win the second game, 8-2. After Paul Schaal homered in the seventh inning of the lidlifter to tie the score at 4-4, Melton whacked his round-tripper in the home half and the White Sox clinched the decision with three more runs in the eighth.
