The White Sox scored 3 quick runs in the first inning off Minnie Minoso's RBI single, followed by a two run shot to right field by Larry Doby. Chicago Ace Billy Pierce held the Athletics scoreless until Clete Boyer's RBI double put Kansas City on the board in the 6th. The next inning Pierce was quickly replaced by Sandy Consuegra after a lead off single. Consuegra struggled with his control letting up RBI singles to Vic Power, Gus Zernial and Joe DeMaestri. Bobby Shantz held the White Sox scoreless in the ninth as Kansas City holds on to win 4-3.
