The Chicago Fire bested the Texas Rangers by a 4 to 1 score at Arlington Stadium.
Chicago scored 3 runs in the 3rd inning with the help of 3 hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Milt Wilcox(1-0) and Chicago. That was all the run support Wilcox required. Chicago banged out 8 hits on the afternoon.
Tim Stoddard earned the save, his 4th. Bruce Kison(1-1) was the loser. He allowed 3 runs and 6 hits in 6 and 1/3 innings.
