A crowd of 36,852 raised the roof at Arlington Stadium when Keith Smith smashed a three-run homer in the eighth inning to lift the Rangers to a 10-7 victory over the White Sox, who were knocked out of the lead in the West Division for the first time since July 1. The Twins moved one-half game ahead of the White Sox. The Rangers were third, one and one-half lengths off the pace.
