Chris Chambliss and Thurman Munson combined to drive in five runs as the Yankees breezed past the White Sox, 8-3. Chambliss knocked in a run with a single in the third and plated two more with a bases-loaded single in the fourth. Munson accounted for two RBIs with a single in the first and a forceout in the fifth.

Ken Holtzman, pitching for the first time in 27 days, lasted 5 1/3 innings and got credit for the victory. It was the 10th win in 12 games for the Yankees and the 19th loss in their last 24 for the White Sox. [The Sporting News]
