Bill Lee extended his scoreless pitching streak to 29 innings before it was broken on his own error, but the Red Sox lefthander gave up only four hits and beat the Rangers, 4-1. Lee attempted to pick Roy Smalley off first base in the eighth inning and threw wildly, allowing Leo Cardenas to score from third. Tim Blackwell, who went into the game with only one hit to his credit this season, rapped a pair of singles for the Red Sox, driving in one run and scoring one to help pin the defeat on Fergie Jenkins.
