Wilbur Wood gained his 18th victory and Tom Bradley posted his 12th with route-going performances as the White Sox romped over the Rangers in a doubleheader, 10-1 and 7-1. Wood enjoyed a breeze in the opener after the White Sox sent 11 men to bat against Pete Broberg in the second inning and scored six runs, two counting on a single by Dick Allen. Wood had a run-scoring single during that stanza and added his second RBI with another single in the seventh.
