A see-saw battle between two powerful lineups.

Rance Mulliniks hit his 3rd HR of the season, as Joe Morgan, Tony Perez (three-run HR), and George Foster (two-run HR) each homered for Cincy.

Chick Gandil was responsible for all four runs for the Whitesox, knocking in three of them, while also scoring on a wild pitch from third; His two-run triple in the fifth was the spark Chicago was looking for, as the Sox win their third straight game & looking to finish with a sweep of the Tribe.
