| The Rangers hit four homers, tying a Texas club record, to support the pitching of Gaylord Perry, who defeated the White Sox, 8-2. Wilbur Wood, who suffered his 20th loss, gave up all four homers for the only hits off his deliveries before being kayoed in the sixth inning. Jeff Burroughs started the Rangers' slugging in the fourth. Jim Fregosi connected for the circuit after a pass to Tom Grieve in the fifth and Dave Nelson and Mike Hargrove hit back-to-back homers in the sixth. [The Sporting News] |
