Playing before a Cushion Night crowd of 43,760, the White Sox shut out the Yankees, 5-0. Ex-Yankee Stan Bahnsen was the winner, beating his former teammates for the second time this season. However, Bahnsen needed the help of Terry Forster, who relieved in the seventh inning. Ken Henderson had a perfect night at bat for the White Sox with a double and three singles.
