Sending 10 men to bat, the Rangers scored all their runs in the seventh inning to defeat the White Sox, 5-3. The White Sox racked up their tallies in the first on two walks, two singles and an error. Claude Osteen, who had throttled the Rangers on five hits over the first six innings, was removed with one out in the seventh after a single by Leo Cardenas, pass to Jim Sundberg and single by Cesar Tovar had produced the first Texas tally.

Rich Gossage gave up a run-scoring single by Toby Harrah and struck out Jim Spencer, but Tom Grieve doubled to drive in two runs, sending the Rangers ahead. After an intentional pass to Mike Hargrove, Lenny Randle singled for the final marker. [The Sporting News]
