Six-hit hurling by Jack Kucek enabled the White Sox to post a 2-1 decision over the Mariners. The winning run came in the fourth inning. Thad Bosley singled, moved to second when Mike Colbern was hit by a pitch and scored when Mariner pitcher Glenn Abbott attempted a pickoff throw to second base but threw the ball wildly into center field.
