Tossing a five-hitter, Ken Kravec hurled the White Sox to a 6-1 victory over the Mariners. Thad Bosley drove in two runs with a single in the third inning and accounted for another run with a single in the fifth. Kravec was deprived of a shutout with two away in the ninth when Rodney Craig singled to plate the Mariners run. [The Sporting News]
