Despite experiencing stomach cramps, Fergie Jenkins yielded only six hits and was an easy winner as the Rangers routed the Athletics, 12-0. Lenny Randle set a Texas club record by scoring four runs after reaching base on two walks and two hits. Mike Hargrove drove in three runs, including two with his first triple of the year.
