Mitchell Page drove in five runs with a homer, two doubles and a single and rookie lefty John Henry Johnson pitched his second shutout as the A's won the second game of a doubleheader, 8-0, after losing the first game to the White Sox, 6-2. The White Sox trailed, 2-1, going into the eighth inning of the lidlifter when Lamar Johnson drew a base on balls, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Junior Moore. After Henry Cruz forced Moore, singles by Don Kessinger and Eric Soderholm put the Sox ahead, 3-2. A double by Jorge Orta and homer by Johnson added three insurance runs in the ninth.
