After getting a three-run homer by Jim Spencer in the sixth inning, the Rangers scored twice more in the seventh, with their deciding run coming on a pass with the bases loaded, to defeat the Twins, 5-4. Mike Hargrove opened the seventh with a single for his first hit of the season and, with two out, Jim Sundberg was safe on an error by Eric Soderholm. Cesar Tovar followed with a double, driving in Hargrove. Lenny Randle walked to load the bases and, after Bill Butler relieved Dave Goltz, Jim Fregosi drew a pass on four pitches to force in what proved to be the winning run. [The Sporting News]
