Bucky Dent hit his first major league homer, connecting after a single by Ron Santo in the eighth inning, to enable the White Sox to defeat the Brewers, 4-3. Pat Kelly scored the first two White Sox runs, each time after hitting a single and stealing second. Dick Allen drove in Kelly with a single in the first and Bill Melton singled for an RBI in the fifth. After Dent's homer, the Brewers rose up with three runs in the ninth on a circuit clout by Don Money to kayo Jim Kaat. Cy Acosta, relieving with one out, put the next two men on base, but Terry Forster took over and saved the game. [The Sporting News]
