The Indians smashed four homers, accounting for six of their runs, and defeated the White Sox, 8-3. Chris Chambliss hit for the circuit after a walk to Buddy Bell in the first inning. Oscar Gamble added a solo swat in the fourth. Charlie Spikes homered following a pass to Chambliss in the fifth and Dave Duncan capped the slugging with a bases-empty drive in the seventh.
