Backed by Jorge Orta, who drove in four runs with a homer, single and sacrifice fly, Claude Osteen gained his first victory since April 25 when the White Sox defeated the Rangers, 7-5. Orta hit his homer after a single by Pat Kelly in the first inning. Kelly doubled in the third and scored when Orta hit his single. Orta then stole second, continued to third on a wild throw by catcher Jim Sundberg and crossed the plate on a single by Bill Melton.
