Although the White Sox were held to only six hits, Carlos May batted in three runs with a triple and Tony Muser drove in three with a single and his first major league homer to beat the Rangers, 8-4. Three walks preceded May's triple in the third inning. Muser, who entered the game when a sore knee forced the exit of Dick Allen, singled for a run in the fourth and homered after a single by Mike Andrews in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
