Tapping five pitchers for 15 hits, the White Sox downed the Yankees, 9-5. The score was 3-3 in the sixth inning when Lamar Johnson stroked a leadoff double. Ron Davis then relieved Ken Clay on the mound for the Yanks and Chet Lemon unloaded a two-run homer, putting the White Sox ahead to stay. Rusty Torres added a two-run homer in the ninth off Rich Gossage. [The Sporting News]
