Ken Kravec continued his personal winning streak with a second straight three-hitter, pitching the White Sox to a 7-0 victory over the Yankees. The win was the sixth in a row for Kravec after he had lost his first three decisions of the season.

The White Sox attack included a homer by Alan Bannister in the first inning and another by Chet Lemon with a man on base in the third. Reggie Jackson suffered a partial tear of a muscle in his left leg running out a grounder in the ninth and will be lost to the Yankees for possibly 10 days. [The Sporting News]
