A bases-loaded triple by Ray Fosse in the first inning started the Athletics off to a 10-4 victory over the White Sox. Fosse hit his triple after a double by Bert Campaneris, a walk and a hit batsman. Buddy Bradford crashed into the outfield wall chasing Fosse's drive and suffered a fractured collarbone. Angel Mangual followed with a single to score Fosse. The A's went back into action in the second with six runs on four singles, a walk, error, sacrifice fly by Fosse for his fourth RBI of the game and a wild pitch. Dick Allen hit two homers for the White Sox and drove in three runs. [The Sporting News]
