The Rangers defeated the Athletics, 3-2, in 11 innings, when Jeff Burroughs singled, scoring Lenny Randle from second base. Randle reached first on a bad-hop single off Bert Campaneris' glove and advanced on Ken Pape's sacrifice. Reliever Jim Todd walked Toby Harrah intentionally to face Burroughs, who broke up the game.
