Wilbur Wood gave up eight hits, all in the first five innings, but the southpaw profited from three double plays and pitched the White Sox to a 6-1 victory over the Yankees. Rusty Torres homered in the fourth for the Yankees' run. The White Sox had a two-run double by Dick Allen and two-run homers by Rick Reichardt and Bill Melton. [The Sporting News]
