A double by Mike Hargrove and single by Bump Wills in the eighth inning provided the Rangers with their deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the Red Sox. Bert Campaneris started the Rangers' scoring with his first homer of the season in the fifth. After Hargrove walked and Toby Harrah singled in the sixth, Bobby Bonds added two runs with a double. Dwight Evans hit two homers and Fred Lynn one to account for the Red Sox scoring. [The Sporting News]
