The White Sox gave new manager Larry Doby his first triumph by taking the opener of a doubleheader, 8-5, but the Twins rebounded to win the nightcap, 9-5. In the first game, the White Sox picked up two unearned runs in the opening inning on two errors, a walk and a sacrifice fly by Chet Lemon. After Bill Nahorodny hit a solo homer in the second, the White Sox added three runs in the third. Wayne Nordhagen and Jorge Orta opened with singles and Claudell Washington hit a sacrifice fly. After a walk to Eric Soderholm, Orta scored on a single by Nahorodny and Soderholm tallied on a single by Alan Bannister.
