. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Aided by Jim Fregosi's 10th homer, a fourth-inning drive with a mate aboard, Fergie Jenkins stopped the White Sox, 4-1, on seven hits in capturing his fourth straight victory, upping his record to 13-9. Wilbur Wood, the majors' winningest pitcher in 1974 with 16, suffered his 12th loss. Leo Cardenas also drove in a pair of Ranger tallies, one with an infield out in the second and other on a single in the sixth. Chicago's run came in the third when Jorge Orta singled and crossed the plate on a two-out double by Ken Henderson. [The Sporting News]
