Ken Henderson's three-run homer triggered a seven-run first inning as the White Sox mauled the Indians, 10-1. It was the sixth victory against one defeat for Jim Kaat, who scattered ten singles. His five strikeouts enabled him to move past Dazzy Vance on the all-time strikeout list with 2,044. Kaat has won 31 games and lost just 15 since joining the Sox on waivers from the Twins last season.

Tribe skipper Frank Robinson was thrown out of the game for arguing with first base umpire Jerry Neudecker and then bumping into him. The dispute came in the sixth inning and was over whether the Sox' Jorge Orta should have a double or triple on a fly ball that was touched by a fan. Robinson was so incensed he eventually had to be restrained by several of his players. [The Sporting News]
