. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Rangers snapped their six-game losing streak behind the pitching of David Clyde, who scattered eight hits in a route-going performance and beat the White Sox, 3-2. The Rangers scored twice in the first inning on a walk to Cesar Tovar, double by Toby Harrah and single by Tom Grieve. The White Sox came back with their pair in the fourth.

Singles by Dick Allen, Bill Melton and Ron Santo produced the first run and a second crossed the plate as Carlos May grounded into a double play. The Rangers then broke the tie in the fifth. Tovar singled, took third on a single by Harrah and scored when Jim Kaat threw wildly to second in an attempt to start a double play on a grounder to the mound by Alex Johnson. [The Sporting News]
