Led by Pat Kelly, who collected three doubles and a walk for a perfect day at the plate, the White Sox defeated the Red Sox, 2-1. Kelly hit his first double to lead off the game and scored on a sacrifice by Carlos May and infield out by Dick Allen.

After hitting another double in the third, Kelly counted on a two-bagger by Bill Melton. The Red Sox piled up 11 hits and drew six walks, but left 16 men on base and scored their only run in the third when Luis Aparicio drew a pass and crossed the plate on a double by Carlton Fisk.
