The Rangers equalled their club record for hits in a game with 19 while trouncing the Blue Jays, 13-2. Fergie Jenkins, who breezed to victory on a six-hitter, fanned five and became the 12th pitcher in major league history to record a career total of 2,500 strikeouts.

Toby Harrah was the only Ranger starter who failed to participate in the hitting spree. Bobby Bonds and Richie Zisk smashed homers. Zisk scored four runs, tying the Rangers' individual club record for one game. [The Sporting News]
