The Rangers, who had won five straight games, were stopped on their streak by a 7-6 loss to the White Sox in 10 innings after a Texas rally was chilled when Don Mincher batted out of turn. Bill Melton walked, Jay Johnstone sacrificed and Tom Egan doubled to produce the tie-breaking run for the White Sox in the 10th.
