The surging Rangers posted their seventh straight victory, beating the A's, 3-1, as Dock Ellis and Reggie Cleveland combined on a five-hitter. After a first-inning single by Mitchell Page had given the A's a 1-0 lead, the Rangers tied the game in the third on a walk to Mike Hargrove, sacrifice by Bert Campaneris and single by Bump Wills.
