Doc Medich pitched a four-hitter to lead the Rangers to a 6-0 blanking of the Mariners. Texas took a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning on singles by Mickey Rivers, Buddy Bell, Pat Putnam and Johnny Grubb and upped their lead to 3-0 in the seventh when Leon Roberts tripled and tallied on a squeeze bunt by Jim Sundberg. An RBI single by Al Oliver and two-run single by Roberts produced three eighth-inning runs. [The Sporting News]
