Bill Melton's two-run homer and a solo shot by Nyls Nyman, his first in the majors, propelled the White Sox to a 6-4 win over the Red Sox. Jesse Jefferson and Rich Gossage shared the five-hitter, with Gossage recording his 20th save. Loser Rick Wise held a 2-1 lead entering the sixth, but then walked Ken Henderson and Melton smashed his homer into the center field seats.
