Although giving up 12 hits, Stan Bahnsen pitched the White Sox to a 2-0 victory and beat the Athletics for only the second time in nine decisions for his major league career. Both White Sox runs off Ken Holtzman came in the fifth inning on doubles by Ed Herrmann and Johnny Jeter, an infield out and single by Carlos May. The loss was Holtzman's first in five career decisions against the White Sox. [The Sporting News]
