An unearned run proved decisive as the White Sox defeated the Indians, 2-1. The White Sox nicked Fritz Peterson for a run in the fourth inning on a double by Ken Henderson and single by Ron Santo. Then in the sixth, after singles by Santo and Jerry Hairston, Indians' second baseman Angel Hermoso fumbled a grounder by Ed Herrmann and followed with a wild throw to the plate to allow Santo to score.
