Dick Allen, who hit a homer and triple to drive in the first two runs for the White Sox, also singled and scored on an error in the eighth inning to beat the Royals, 3-2. After his single, Allen advanced on a single by Bill Melton. Carlos May then grounded to John Mayberry, who threw to second, forcing Melton, but Bobby Floyd's return throw in an attempted double play went wild and Allen scored on the error.
