Yielding only five singles, Dennis Lamp pitched the White Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Mariners. Jim Morrison opened the scoring with a leadoff homer in the third inning, and the Sox made it 2-0 in the fifth on an RBI double by Lamar Johnson. The Sox scored three runs in the eighth when, with two men on, Chet Lemon's single to center was booted by Joe Simpson for a three-base error. [The Sporting News]
