Jim Kaat was stopped on a streak of 27 scoreless innings, but the White Sox southpaw defeated the Twins, 3-1. A triple by Pat Kelly and infield out by Bucky Dent put the White Sox on the scoreboard against Dave Goltz in the first inning before the Twins picked up their run off Kaat in the third on two walks and a single by Rod Carew. Ken Henderson broke the tie with a homer in the fourth and the White Sox added their last run on a triple by Dent and single by Jorge Orta in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
