Rangers Deal Royals 7-2 Loss
The Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Texas turned a good effort from starter Catfish Hunter into a win over the Kansas City Royals at Royals Stadium 1973. The final score was 7-2. The 6th-place Rangers are now 54-77, the Royals 57-75.

It could have been a different outcome for Texas, had it not been for Juan Rodriguez, the 27-year old shortstop . Rodriguez contributed a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put Texas up, 6-0.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Rodriguez. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
