| Bill Melton hit a three-run homer and Dick Allen also drove in three runs with a pair of singles to pace the White Sox to a 9-3 victory over the Orioles. Stan Bahnsen, who was the winner, beat the Orioles for the first time in his career after losing to them in nine decisions while with the Yankees and in one game since being acquired by the White Sox.
