The White Sox exploded for six runs in the eighth inning to post a come-from-behind win over the Rangers, 9-5. Jorge Orta began the uprising with a single off starter Steve Hargan. Dick Allen walked and Carlos May drove in Orta with a single. Ken Henderson doubled and Steve Foucault relieved Hargan. He hit Bill Melton with a pitch. Bill Sharp's groundout scored a run and Bucky Dent then doubled home two more. Orta scored Dent with a single off the third Ranger pitcher of the inning, David Clyde. The win snapped a three-game Chisox losing streak. [The Sporting News]
