Breaking out of his slump, Rico Carty hit a homer, double and single as the designated hitter in the first game and then delivered a three-run double as a pinch-hitter in the second game as the Indians defeated the White Sox in a doubleheader, 8-5 and 9-7. Carty's homer in the lidlifter was his first since May 12. Frank Duffy also rapped a round-tripper for the Tribe.

In the nightcap, the Indians trailed, 6-3, until they exploded for six runs in the eighth inning. Carty's double tied the score and the Indians then added their other runs with the aid of a triple by Larvell Blanks. [The Sporting News]
