Completing their four-game sweep of California, the Rangers blanked the Angels, 7-0, behind the pitching of Doc Medich. The Texans took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Bobby Thompson drove in Pat Putnam with a groundout and they added six runs in the fifth frame. Mike Hargrove, who went 3-for-5 with a double, triple and three RBIs, got the big hit, a two-out, bases-loaded double. [The Sporting News]
