The Rangers and White Sox played to a 1-1 tie in a game called off because of rain and wet grounds with one out in the last half of the sixth inning. The Rangers scored in the first on a double by Mickey Rivers, sacrifice by Bump Wills and infield out by Al Oliver. The White Sox knotted the count in the fifth when Lamar Johnson doubled and Jim Morrison singled. [The Sporting News]
