Despite a lineup personally selected by owner George Steinbrenner, the Yankees lost their sixth game in the last seven, bowing to the White Sox, 6-1, as veteran Wilbur Wood scattered six hits. The White Sox scored three runs in the third inning on singles by Chet Lemon, Eric Soderholm and Ralph Garr and rookie second baseman Damaso Garcia's wild throw on an infield hit by Jorge Orta. Claudell Washington blasted a two-run homer in the fifth. Bill Nahorodny tripled in the eighth and scored on a sacrifice fly by Henry Cruz. [The Sporting News]
