In game played under protest by Chicago, the Royals defeated the White Sox, 6-3. The Royals got three runs in the third inning on RBI singles by George Brett, John Wathan and Darrell Porter. In the fourth frame, Frank White opened with a triple and scored on a single by Hal McRae. Al Cowens followed with a home run. McRae's single resulted in the protest: the White Sox charged that McRae was using a cork-filled bat when he got his hit.
