Making his major league debut, Ross Baumgarten got credit for the victory as the White Sox defeated the Rangers, 6-2, snapping Texas' six-game winning streak. Singles by Don Kessinger, Jorge Orta and Lamar Johnson got the White Sox rolling in the first inning and they added a run in the second on a triple by Claudell Washington and an out by Bob Molinaro.
