Toby Harrah drove in five runs and highlighted a five-run third inning with a bases-loaded double to send the Rangers past the Tigers, 10-3. With the Rangers leading 3-1 going into the third frame, Jim Fregosi got a one-out single off loser Mickey Lolich and Tom Grieve hit a homer.

Joe Lovitto then singled and Ray Bare replaced Lolich on the mound. Leo Cardenas doubled and, after Cesar Tovar walked to load the sacks, Harrah delivered his three-run double. He also drove in two other runs with a groundout and single. [The Sporting News]
