Staked to a 6-0 lead in the first two innings, Jim Umbarger pitched the Rangers to a 7-1 victory over the Yankees. After counting three times in the first, the Rangers added three more in the second on a homer by Mike Hargrove. Catfish Hunter, who was the loser, gave up another tally in the eighth, marking the first time that the ace righthander had yielded seven earned runs in one game since 1967. [The Sporting News]
