Rich Gossage gained his 18th save of the season as the White Sox won the first game of a doubleheader, 6-2, but the ace reliever was the loser in the nightcap when the Red Sox scored in the 11th inning to post a 4-3 victory. Terry Forster, who came out of the White Sox bullpen for his first start of the season in the lidlifter, injured his elbow in the second inning and reportedly will be out of action the rest of the year. Dave Hamilton relieved and was the winner with help from Gossage in the eighth. Rick Wise, Red Sox loser, was troubled by wildness and was stopped on his nine-game winning streak.
