Rico Carty, a former member of the Rangers, made his first appearance against his old club and drove in three runs with a double to lead the Indians to a 7-3 victory. Carty also rapped two singles in five trips. Oscar Gamble singled and Rusty Torres homered for the Indians in the second inning, but the score was tied, 2-2, when the Indians began the fourth with a single by Gamble.

Torres also singled and when Jeff Burroughs threw wildly from the outfield, Gamble scored. Dave Duncan was hit by a pitch, Luis Alvarado sacrificed and John Lowenstein walked to load the bases. Steve Foucault took over as the Rangers' third pitcher of the inning and struck out Frank Duffy, but Carty then beat his former teammates with a double that drove in three runs.
