Buddy Bradford, who hit seven homers in spring training games before cooling off, rapped his first round-tripper of the season to help the White Sox defeat the Indians, 8-3. Bradford batted in one run with an infield out in the third inning before hitting for the circuit with a man on base to account for two of four runs in the fifth.

Bill Melton homered in the eighth. George Hendrick hit a sacrifice fly, homer and double to produce the Indians' tallies off Wilbur Wood, who pitched 5 2/3 innings and received credit for his second victory of the season against six defeats. [The Sporting News]
