Jeff Burroughs smashed a two-run homer and Roy Smalley drove in two runs with a pair of hits to escort the Rangers to an 8-3 victory over the Red Sox. Burroughs' homer after a safe bunt by Jim Sundberg in the third inning was the sixth for the Rangers' slugger over a stretch of seven games.

The Rangers added two runs in the sixth on a single by Lenny Randle, triple by Roy Howell and single by Smalley. A safe squeeze bunt by Smalley produced one of the Rangers' four runs in the seventh. Bernie Carbo hit two homers for the Red Sox. [The Sporting News]
