After the unaccustomed luxury of five days' rest, Wilbur Wood took the mound and pitched the White Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Indians. The White Sox scored all their runs off Dick Tidrow in the first inning.

Pat Kelly singled, stole second, took third on an infield out and counted on a sacrifice fly by Dick Allen before consecutive singles by Bill Melton, Carlos May and Rick Reichardt added what proved to be the winning run. The Indians' tally in the sixth was unearned on a wild throw by Mike Andrews. [The Sporting News]
