A 16-hit attack, aided by five White Sox errors, was more than enough for the Rangers to post a 10-6 triumph over the Chisox. Jim Kaat, winner of seven straight games, saw his skein snapped as he departed the premises in the fourth inning. Despite being given a seven-run lead, Jim Bibby needed relief help from Steve Foucault before gaining credit for his 14th victory. Carlos May blasted two two-run homers for the losers while Jeff Burroughs, with three hits and his 74th RBI of the campaign, tops for the junior circuit, led the Texas shooting.
