With help from Dave Hamilton in relief, Jim Kaat gained his 17th victory when the White Sox defeated the Indians, 6-4. Hamilton, after replacing Kaat with two men on base and one out in the eighth inning, retired Charlie Spikes on a fly. Duane Kuiper, running for Rico Carty, then attempted to steal home on a delayed double steal and was thrown out.

The White Sox scored three runs in the second, two crossing the plate on a triple by Pat Kelly, but the Indians went ahead, 4-3, with the aid of a homer by Carty. The White Sox came back with a homer by Kelly and doubles by Jorge Orta and Deron Johnson to take the lead in the seventh. After Hamilton's rescue act in the eighth, Bill Stein provided an insurance run with a circuit clout in the White Sox half. [The Sporting News]
