Picking up his sixth straight victory, Britt Burns unfurled a four-hitter as the White Sox whitewashed the Blue Jays, 8-0. Greg Luzinski belted a solo homer in the second inning and Chet Lemon cracked a leadoff round-tripper in the seventh. A six-run eighth stanza was highlighted by a three-run double by Tony Bernazard.
