A three-hitter by Jesse Jefferson and a six-run second inning carried the Blue Jays to an 8-0 rout of the White Sox. Rico Carty led off the second with a double and after a walk and single loaded the bases, Alan Ashby drew a walk, forcing in the first run. A single by Dave McKay drove home two tallies and a single by Luis Gomez added another marker. After a sacrifice, two more runs scored on a sacrifice fly by Al Woods and a bad relay throw by Don Kessinger.
