Although piling up 19 hits, the Rangers needed great relief work by Stan Thomas to subdue the White Sox, 10-6. Lenny Randle, Mike Hargrove and Roy Howell each had three hits in the Rangers' attack, which also included a homer by Tom Grieve. Hargrove drove in three runs. The White Sox knocked out Steve Hargan in the seventh inning, but Thomas relieved with the bases loaded and put down the rally, striking out Nyls Nyman and Chet Lemon and retiring Mike Squires on a fly.
