Toby Harrah smashed a two-run homer and Jim Bibby pitched a three-hitter as the Rangers defeated the Yankees, 2-0. With one out in the second inning, Jim Spencer singled. Then with two away, Harrah unloaded his homer to beat Pat Dobson, who lost to the Rangers for the third time this season among his 12 defeats. [The Sporting News]
