After Toby Harrah homered in the top half of the ninth inning for the deciding run, Reggie Cleveland saved the Rangers' 5-4 victory with clutch relief work in the Brewers' half of the final frame. Fergie Jenkins, who started for the Rangers, gave up nine hits, including a pair of homers by Don Money, before being lifted in the Brewers' ninth after Ben Oglivie singled and took third on a single by Sixto Lezcano.

With Cleveland pitching, Robin Yount grounded out, Oglivie scoring, but the rally ended when both Gorman Thomas and Dave May hit into fielder's choice outs. [The Sporting News]
