Bert Blyleven pitched his second straight 10-inning shutout for the Rangers, scattering 10 hits and defeating the White Sox, 1-0. With one out in the overtime frame, Toby Harrah singled and took second on a wild pitch by Ken Brett. After an intentional pass to Jeff Burroughs, Jim Fregosi batted for Dave Moates and singled to drive in the winning run. In his last previous start June 21, Blyleven also shut out the Athletics, 1-0, in 10 innings. [The Sporting News]
