Although allowing only two runs in six innings, David Clyde was charged with his second defeat when the Rangers lost to the Red Sox, 5-2. The Rangers' 18-year-old high school graduate struck out eight. Tommy Harper, who proved to be Clyde's nemesis, bunted safely in the first inning, took third on a single by Luis Aparicio and scored when Carl Yastrzemski grounded into a double play. Aparicio's time at bat was his 10,000th in the major leagues.
