Allowing only four hits, Fergie Jenkins pitched the Red Sox to a 4-0 victory over the White Sox. The Red Sox got three of their runs in the fourth inning on singles by Carlton Fisk, Butch Hobson, Doug Griffin and Rick Burleson. Carl Yastrzemski singled and Bobby Darwin tripled for the other tally in the fifth. The White Sox did not use a designated hitter, allowing Ken Brett to bat because of his swinging ability. However, he went hitless in three trips. [The Sporting News]
