Inserted in the leadoff spot by new manager Frank Lucchesi, Dave Moates hit a first-inning homer to get the Rangers started on their way to a 6-0 victory over the Red Sox. After the homer by Moates, Texas tallied three more runs on a double by Lenny Randle, single by Mike Hargrove, double by Jeff Burroughs and two groundouts. That was more than enough for Fergie Jenkins, who shut out Boston on five hits. Burroughs hit his 19th homer of the season in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
