Jim Kaat gained the 200th victory of his major league career with the backing of six homers by the White Sox, who defeated the Indians, 7-3. Jorge Orta and Dick Allen each hit two homers, while Carlos May and Ken Henderson added one apiece. George Hendrick rapped a pair for the Indians. The victory was Kaat's sixth of the season and 10th with the White Sox since being acquired from the Twins in August, 1973. The veteran lefthander previously won one game with the former Washington Senators and 189 in 12-plus seasons with the Twins. [The Sporting News]
