Cesar Tovar's single with two out and Roy Smalley at third in the top of the 13th gave the Rangers their first run in 23 innings, but it was enough for a 1-0 victory over the Angels. Toby Harrah opened the fourth extra inning for Texas with a single. Smalley bounced to second baseman Jerry Remy, who threw out Harrah at second, but shortstop Orlando Ramirez' relay to first bounced in the dirt and Smalley moved to second, then took third on Jim Sundberg's long fly to right.

Tovar followed with the game-winning hit, a liner on which center fielder Rivers attempted a shoestring catch. Texas' Steve Hargan and the Angels' Bill Singer each threw 11 shutout innings in starting roles. Jim Umbarger, who relieved Hargan in the 12th, was the winner. [The Sporting News]
