With ninth-inning help from Sparky Lyle, Fritz Peterson was able to break his personal four-game losing streak when the Yankees defeated the White Sox, 2-1. Lyle put down a White Sox threat after taking over with two men on base and none out in the final frame.

Ron Blomberg homered for the Yankees' initial run in the second and the deciding tally followed in the fourth on a double by Hal Lanier and single by Horace Clarke. The White Sox scored in the next stanza on a double by Bill Melton and single by Ken Henderson. [The Sporting News]
