Bob Cerv hit a solo home run in the 4th, and Elston Howard hit a 2-run homer in the 6th to put the Yankees up 5-0. Bill Skowron&#8217;s 2-run triple in the 8th finally ended Gary Peters&#8217; night. Bill Stafford scattered 8 hits, allowing just one run in 8 innings while striking out 6.

Roger Maris went 0 for 4, and has just one hit in the series so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB60s\/Scoresheets\/09-11-2025_NYY_CHW.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'61 Yankees @ '64 White Sox - 9\/11\/25\">&#8217;61 Yankees @ &#8217;64 White Sox &#8211; 9\/11\/25<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1961 New York Yankees offense rebounded after a shutout loss.
