Combining on a three-hitter, Fergie Jenkins and Steve Comer pitched the Rangers to a 2-1 decision over the White Sox. The victory was the 261st of Jenkins' career. Texas scored in the fourth inning on a solo homer by Johnny Grubb and broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh wen Bump Wills drilled a leadoff double, moved to third on a balk and, after Mickey Rivers fouled out, came home on Al Oliver's fly to deep left.
