Working with only two days' rest, Wilbur Wood pitched the White Sox to a 6-0 victory over the Indians for his third shutout in eight days. In 36 innings so far this season, the veteran knuckleballer had allowed only one run (a homer by Bob Oliver of the Royals with two out in the ninth April 15) for an ERA of 0.25.
