Fergie Jenkins became the fourth pitcher in history to win 100 or more games in each major league when the Rangers' righthander defeated the Orioles, 3-2. Jenkins won 149 games in the N. L. with the Phillies and Cubs. He was with the Red Sox, in addition to the Rangers, in achieving 100 victories in the A. L. The other pitchers in the century class in each league are Cy Young, Jim Bunning and Gaylord Perry.

The Rangers backed Jenkins with a homer by Al Oliver in the first inning and run-scoring single by Pepe Frias in the second before adding what proved to be the deciding tally on an error by Oriole first baseman Eddie Murray in the sixth. Pinch-hitter Pat Kelly homered for the Orioles' runs in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
