Thanks to Bill Melton, who hit a two-run homer, Wilbur Wood was able to pitch the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Tigers. With the score tied, 1-1, Pat Kelly walked in the sixth inning and, on a run-and-hit play, scored from first base on a single by Mike Andrews and error by Willie Horton. Melton followed with his homer off Joe Coleman, who was stopped on his personal six-game winning streak.
