August 23, 1960 – At Yankee Stadium Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Billy Pierce pulled a muscle warming up on the mound; HP umpire Charlie Berry allowed White Sox manager Al Lopez to start Early Wynn in his place; Yankees manager Casey Stengel protested the game. The Yankees will go on to lose the protest.

Wynn pitching on 3 days rest holds the Yankees to 4 hits in his complete-game effort. The White Sox cruised to a 5-1 victory. Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio chip in with 2 hits each for the Sox and Eli Grba the Yankee starting pitcher is the only one to produce any offense for the bombers as he homers in the 5th.
