White Sox owner Bill Veeck staged a "Breakfast Special," starting at 9:30 a.m. (CDT), and attracted a crowd of 10,099, but the Rangers did the feasting with a 3-0 victory behind the three-hit pitching of Nelson Briles. The morning game was believed to be the first of its kind ever held at Comiskey Park.
