Extending their winning streak to four games, the White Sox copped a 4-2 verdict over the Twins. The game was tied, 2-2, in the bottom of the sixth inning when the White Sox broke through as Chet Lemon walked, raced to third on a single by Lamar Johnson and scored on a single by Wayne Nordhagen. Lemon provided insurance with a homer in the eighth. The Twins' Ken Landreaux tripled in the sixth to extend his hitting streak to 22 consecutive games. [The Sporting News]
