With their first five batters reaching base, the Rangers scored three runs in the first inning and defeated the Angels, 5-1, for their first victory in a Texas uniform. A pass to Lenny Randle and consecutive singles by Dave Nelson, Frank Howard and Dick Billings produced two runs. Tom Grieve beat out a bunt to load the bases and the third run scored when Joe Lovitto grounded into a double play.
