The Athletics wiped out 3-1 a Ranger lead in the fourth with a five-run flurry and went on to beat Texas, 11-6. A wild throw by first baseman Mike Hargrove allowed two Oakland runs to score. Sal Bando unknotted the tie with a two-run triple and then scored the fifth run of the inning on a wild pitch by loser Jim Bibby, who allowed seven hits. He wild-pitched a run home in the second and walked six before being lifted in the sixth when the A's scored two more on Joe Rudi's double.
