Starting with a three-run homer by Deron Johnson in the first inning, the White Sox walloped the Rangers, 13-3, to provide Jim Kaat with his 10th victory of the season. Kaat failed to finish, however, going out in the seventh in favor of Rich Gossage. Bucky Dent singled and Carlos May walked ahead of Johnson's homer. The White Sox went on to pile up a total of 16 hits and beat the Rangers for the first time in seven meetings this year. [The Sporting News]
