The Rangers, playing their third season in Texas, went over 1,000,000 in attendance for the first time and marked the milestone by defeating the Orioles, 2-1. The crowd of 29,699 brought the club's total to 1,016,838. The Rangers scored their runs off Jim Palmer in the first inning on a single by Dave Nelson and doubles by Cesar Tovar and Jeff Burroughs. Fergie Jenkins made those tallies stand up for his 19th victory. The Orioles' lone run counted in the sixth on singles by Paul Blair and Tommy Davis and a grounder by Bobby Grich.
