Posting the third shutout in his last four starts, Gaylord Perry yielded only two hits and pitched the Rangers to a 4-0 victory over the Indians. The Rangers decided the outcome with three runs in the third inning. Jeff Burroughs walked with the bases loaded to force in the first marker and Jim Spencer followed with a single to add two more.

A walk to Spencer and singles by Toby Harrah and Roy Howell accounted for the last run in the fifth. The shutout victory was the Rangers' second straight since Frank Lucchesi replaced Billy Martin as manager. [The Sporting News]
