Yankees 2, White Sox 1 (68-53)
The White Sox and Joe Horlen were on the short end of a pitcher’s duel as the White Sox four game winning streak came to an end. Horlen gave up just two runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts in the complete game loss. For his efforts, he fell to 14-4 on the season because the offense never quite got going.
Tommie Agee had the only two hits for the White Sox in the game. He also scored their lone run.
Despite the split, the White Sox stayed in first place but they had a new partner at the top. Instead of the Twins, who were swept by the Tigers, the Red Sox had moved into first place with a nice winning streak.
