The Yankees handed Wilbur Wood his 10th defeat of the season, knocking out the veteran southpaw in the third inning while scoring all their runs to beat the White Sox, 5-1. Four singles, together with a sacrifice fly by Thurman Munson, produced two runs in the first and two more followed in the second when Chris Chambliss singled and Bobby Bonds homered.

Singles by Roy White and Munson and a double by Chambliss added the Yankees' final run in the third. The White Sox got their only run in the home half of the third on singles by Jorge Orta and Bob Coluccio around a walk to Brian Downing. [The Sporting News]
