Fergie Jenkins, despite a one hour, 36 minute rain delay, picked up his 14th victory in easy fashion as the Rangers pasted the Royals, 10-1. Texas tagged loser Marty Pattin for three runs in the first, Mike Hargrove singling home a pair and another scoring on a sacrifice fly by Lenny Randle. The Rangers made it 7-1 in the third on Alex Johnson's double, a Royal error and singles by Hargrove, Randle and Toby Harrah. Jeff Burroughs hit a bases-empty homer for an 8-1 advantage as rain began to fall in the fourth. After the resumption of play, Jim Sundberg closed out the Texas scoring with a two-run homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
