The Red Sox lost Fergie Jenkins for the remainder of the season when the veteran righthander tore his Achilles tendon on a play at first base in the fifth inning of a 3-0 victory over the Rangers. Relieving Jenkins with one out, Tom Murphy passed Juan Beniquez but then retired the last 14 batters in a row, needing only 39 pitches, to gain credit for the victory.
