Homers by Jim Spencer and Bucky Dent carried the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Red Sox. A triple by Rick Burleson and sacrifice fly by Denny Doyle produced a run for the Red Sox in the first inning and their other tally followed in the second when Butch Hobson bounced into a double play with the bases loaded.
