Mike Torrez pitched a four-hitter and Gene Tenace batted in three runs with two homers as the Athletics defeated the White Sox, 4-0. After Tenace homered in the second inning, the A's scored again in the fifth on a double by Bill North and two wild pitches by Clay Carroll. Tenace's second homer of the game came in the eighth with a man on base. [The Sporting News]
