| Reggie Smith smashed two homers, driving in five runs, as the Red Sox walloped the Rangers, 12-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Sonny Siebert. Smith homered with a man on base in the first inning and again with two aboard in the seventh. In addition, Smith singled in the fifth ahead of back-to-back homers by Rico Petrocelli and Danny Cater.
