A three-hitter by Steve Stone enabled the White Sox to whitewash the Indians, 2-0. The Sox scored both their runs in the fourth inning when Chet Lemon got a leadoff single and Lamar Johnson reached first as Tom Veryzer booted his one-out grounder. Bill Nahorodny then doubled home both runners. [The Sporting News]
