A single by Al Cowens in the ninth inning drove home the winning run as the Royals outlasted the White Sox, 7-6. After the White Sox tied the game in the top of the ninth on a homer by Bill Nahorodny, Frank White began the Royals' comeback with a two-out double. Following an intentional walk to Pete LaCock, Al Cowens lined a single to end the game.
