The Rangers put together seven hits for six runs in the fifth inning to clinch a 9-2 victory over the Angels. Bill Stoneman, who suffered his seventh straight setback, was lifted in the fifth after Cesar Tovar and Dave Nelson singled. Lenny Randle and Jeff Burroughs rapped singles, each driving in a run, after Skip Lockwood relieved.

John Cumberland then came to the mound and gave up a single by Mike Hargrove for the Rangers' fifth straight hit and third run of the inning. After the next two batters struck out, Toby Harrah batted in a run with a double. Tovar, coming up for his second time at bat, then singled to drive in the final two tallies of the outburst.
