A double by Jeff Burroughs and triple by Tom Grieve capped a rally as the Rangers scored three runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Royals, 4-2. Cookie Rojas batted in the Royals' runs with a single in the sixth for a 2-1 lead. Lenny Randle singled for the Rangers in the eighth and when Gene Garber threw wildly on a bunt by Dave Nelson, both runners were safe. Toby Harrah singled, driving in Randle to tie the score. Alex Johnson hit into a double play, wiping out Harrah, but Burroughs doubled, sending Nelson home with the leading run, and Grieve followed with his triple to produce an insurance counter.
