Bill North singled to open the last of the third inning, stole second and third bases, then scored what proved to be the winning run on a single by Bert Campaneris as the Athletics defeated the White Sox, 3-1. The two stolen bases brought North's major league-leading total to 50. Paul Mitchell went 7 2/3 innings and gained his fourth straight victory with help from reliever Rollie Fingers.
