A single by Ken Suarez with the bases loaded in the ninth inning enabled the Rangers to edge the Red Sox, 7-6. The Rangers' first three runs came on the 362nd homer of Frank Howard's career, moving the slugger into 20th place on the all-time list ahead of Joe DiMaggio. After the Red Sox tied the score at 6-6 in the ninth, Dave Nelson singled for the Rangers and Ted Kubiak and Dick Billings walked to fill the sacks for Suarez' appearance. [The Sporting News] |
