| Four Texas pitchers combined on a four-hitter to boost the Rangers to a 1-0 blanking of the Yankees. The game's lone run came in the opening frame when Bump Wills, Al Oliver and Buddy Bell stroked consecutive one-out singles. Rick Honeycutt, who hurled the first 5 1/3 innings, upped his record to 7-1. [The Sporting News] |
