Ken Kravec, who entered the game with an 8.38 ERA, combined with Ed Farmer on a four-hitter to give the White Sox a 1-0 triumph over the Twins. Farmer came on after Kravec yielded a leadoff single in the ninth inning and got the last three outs to notch his major-league leading 11th save.

The Sox scored in the third inning when Bruce Kimm led off with a single, reached third on a sacrifice bunt by Harold Baines and a throwing error by catcher Sal Butera and, after Greg Pryor popped up, scored on a double by Alan Bannister. [The Sporting News]
