The White Sox, who had dropped seven straight games to the Red Sox this season, snapped that losing streak with a 4-2 victory. The White Sox beat Jim Lonborg with three runs in the fifth inning. Singles by Rich McKinney and Bill Melton, together with an error, produced the first tally. Mike Andrews singled for another run and Rich Morales walked with the bases loaded to force in the third counter. [The Sporting News]
