The Yankees knocked out Bart Johnson, who had previously pitched two straight shutouts, and defeated the White Sox, 7-5, for their fifth straight victory and 10th in the last 11 games. The Yankees scored their first six runs off Johnson and added another tally off Skip Pitlock for a 7-0 lead before the White Sox made the game close.

Jorge Orta knocked in two runs with a triple in the seventh and in the eighth Ken Henderson and Ed Herrmann hit homers, Herrmann's blow coming with a man on base, to chase Pat Dobson. Mike Wallace finished. The Yankees' 14 hits gave them a total of 50 in the three-game sweep of the White Sox. [The Sporting News]
