Balancing his record at 17-17, Fergie Jenkins pitched the Rangers to a 5-3 victory over the White Sox. The Rangers scored their first two runs on a bases-loaded single by Mike Cubbage in the fourth inning. Jeff Burroughs homered in the sixth to trigger a three-run outburst that decided the outcome.
