IN THE NEWS: Padres rookie Butch Metzger (10-0) is credited with a 4–3 victory over the Astros, his 10th win without a defeat. With a victory in each of the past two seasons, Metzger's mark of 12–0 to start a career matches Hooks Wiltse, in 1904. Metzger will lose his last four decisions this year.

The White Sox suit up in shorts for the first game of a doubleheader with the Royals—the idea of maverick owner Bill Veeck. The shorts split, the Sox taking the opener 5–2 and losing the nightcap 7–1.
