Stan Bahnsen pitched five innings and gained his sixth victory of the season and 100th of his major league career when the White Sox trounced the Indians, 15-4. Bahnsen was ahead only 5-4 when removed in favor of Skip Pitlock, but the White Sox broke the game apart with seven runs in the seventh inning. Tom Hilgendorf, pitching in relief of Steve Arlin, had retired 11 straight batters before Jorge Orta singled with two out in the seventh. The Indians brought Fred Beene to the mound and on his first pitch Dick Allen smashed a homer. Milt Wilcox also pitched for the Indians before the inning ended with the White Sox scoring five more runs on six hits. [The Sporting News]
