White Sox 4 (67-52), Yankees 3
The White Sox picked up their third straight win, and more importantly, the moved back into a tie for first place with the idle Twins. Rookie Steve Jones picked up his first career win with a nice start. He gave up three runs on two hits and four walks with two strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Hoyt Wilhelm slammed the door shut in the final 3 1/3 innings and he picked up his 12th save of the season.
Rocky Colavito continued to pay dividends for the White Sox as he drove in half of their runs with his eighth homerun. Walt Williams doubled, drew a walk and drove in a run.
