Rangers 8, A's 2 at Texas (night game):
Blasting Mike Morgan off the mound in 2 1/3 innings, the Rangers rode roughshod over the A's, 8-2. The young righthander, just recently out of high school, was no puzzle to the Texans.

The Astros had tied the contest in the seventh on a leadoff double by Puhl, sacrifice by Jesus Alou and infield out by Cabell.
