Although Fergie Jenkins pitched another fine game, the ex-Cubs' righthander was a victim of two unearned runs when the Rangers lost to the Angels, 4-3. An error led to one of the Angels' three runs in the first inning. The Rangers came back with a pair on a homer by Tom Grieve in the third and tied the score in the fourth, but another error beat Jenkins in the ninth. Richie Scheinblum singled and, with two out, Ellie Rodriguez also singled and when Alex Johnson let the ball get away from him in left field, Scheinblum scored the winning run. [The Sporting News]
