AL White Sox by a score of 6 to 2 at Comiskey Park.
Ford(9-9) was in control of the game from the outset. He was stingy on the
mound, allowing just 7 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings. New York AL rapped out
9 hits for the night.

noted, 'I had good command of all my pitches. Just as important, my location
was right on.'
