Paul Mitchell posted his first major league shutout, pitching the Athletics to a 5-0 victory over the White Sox, who were whitewashed for the 15th time this season. Bill North singled and scored in the first inning and drove in a run with a double in the fifth before the A's wrapped up their verdict with three runs in the seventh on a single by Gene Tenace, an error, double by Ken McMullen, intentional pass to North and single by Bert Campaneris.
