Fergie Jenkins pitched a four-hitter for his first shutout of the season and Jim Sundberg clinched the Rangers' 4-0 victory over the Yankees by rapping a homer with two men on base. The Rangers counted their initial run in the first inning on two walks and a double by Tom Grieve. Leo Cardenas singled in the sixth and Roy Smalley walked ahead of Sundberg's smash.
