Joe Coleman, who had won four straight games for the Tigers, was stopped on his streak by the Rangers, 4-1. Jeff Burroughs opened the Rangers' scoring with a homer in the third inning and another run followed on a single by Elliott Maddox, his theft of second and a single by Toby Harrah. The Rangers' two other tallies counted in the sixth on a single by Harrah and doubles by Alex Johnson and Dick Billings. [The Sporting News]
