Jim Bibby, making his first start since pitching a no-hitter against the Athletics July 30, yielded eight hits and also walked nine as the Rangers lost to the White Sox, 5-3. The Rangers staked Bibby to a three-run lead in the first inning, but his wildness more than offset the fact that he struck out 11.
