Horlen Tops Red Sox as Sox Split Twin Bill
Joe Horlen improved to 7-0 with a six hitter in the first game and a 5-2 White Sox win over Boston, aided by tissue chewing he says relaxes him. The Cubs? No. A second game loss left Chicago 1 1/2 games behind Detroit. Cleveland beat Minnesota 7-5 behind Max Alvis two homers, Reichardt and Fregosi helped California top Baltimore 6-5, and the Yankees shut out Washington 6-0 behind Verbanic two runs driven in. Alvis added a final two-run shot to cap a four-run ninth for Cleveland.
