Jim Kaat gained his fourth straight victory this season and 11th in a row over two years when the White Sox defeated the Athletics, 5-2. However, the veteran lefthander needed help from Terry Forster, who relieved with the bases loaded and two out in the eighth inning and fanned Claudell Washington to end the threat.
