Jorge Orta hit a two-run homer and Lamar Johnson batted in three runs with a sacrifice fly and a double to pace the White Sox to a 6-2 victory over the Rangers. After his double in the fourth inning, Johnson advanced to third after a fly out and scored the White Sox' last run on an infield hit by Thad Bosley. Al Oliver homered for the Rangers' pair.
