Pitching his first complete big league game, Ross Baumgarten hurled the White Sox to a 6-0 blanking of the Indians. The White Sox scored in the second inning on a triple by Thad Bosley and single by Mike Colbern. The Pale Hose then broke up Baumgarten's duel with Paul Reuschel by scoring three runs in the seventh on a double by Lamar Johnson and singles by Eric Soderholm, Bosley, Don Kessinger and Ralph Garr.
