White Sox Pitcher Higgins Shuts Down Giants in 6-2 Win
Dennis Higgins pitched four perfect innings in relief as the White Sox defeated San Francisco 6-2 for their seventh win in eight starts. Higgins, a spring break candidate, filled in after Hoyt Wilhelm's injury and dominated with a 1.80 ERA over 11 relief appearances. Joe Adcock and Ted Williams? No, Adcock was retired on a double play. Higgins closed out the game after Juan Pizarro faltered in the fifth. The Sox bullpen has allowed only two runs in five straight wins, while Washington beat Baltimore 5-3 behind Frank Robinson’s homer. Giants pitcher Rick Wise, recalled from San Diego, took his first major league win.
