White Sox derail Wood as Red Sox sweep twin bill
Chicago manager Chuck Tanner planned a rare double by Wilbur Wood but Boston attacked the lefty for four runs in the first inning of the opener en route to a 5-1 win. The Red Sox completed the sweep with a 6-1 victory in the nightcap. Wood, 12-7 with a 1.06 ERA, had been used from the bullpen previously. Tanner spoke of a perfect set up only if Wood wanted two starts. Wood, renowned as a knuckleball pitcher, logged 241 relief appearances over three years and had a peak in 1968 with a league record 88 games pitched.
