Jim Fregosi, playing in his first game with the Rangers, rapped a homer and two singles, plus a sacrifice fly, in a perfect night at bat and Jim Bibby pitched a five-hitter to defeat the Red Sox, 4-1. Jeff Burroughs also homered for the Rangers, while Orlando Cepeda connected for the Red Sox in the ninth inning to ruin Bibby's bid for a shutout. [The Sporting News]
