The hitting of Bill Melton and Jorge Orta helped the White Sox win the first game of a doubleheader, 10-8, before a pinch-homer by Harmon Killebrew gave the Royals a 3-1 victory in the second game. Melton drove in four runs with a homer and sacrifice fly, while Orta accounted for three RBIs with a double and two singles. Rich Gossage relieved Wilbur Wood with one out in the fifth inning and pitched the rest of the way, holding the Royals to three hits and one unearned run.
