Four homers -- two by Jay Johnstone and one apiece by Bill Melton and Mike Andrews -- powered the White Sox to a 9-1 victory over the Indians. Johnstone and Melton each connected with a man on base in the first inning.

The only White Sox run that was not produced by a homer counted in the fifth on a walk to Johnstone, double by Andrews and sacrifice fly by Melton. Andrews hit for the circuit in the eighth and Johnstone added his second round-tripper of the game with a man on base in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
