Toby Harrah smashed the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to open a four-hit night for the Rangers' shortstop in a 6-1 victory over the Athletics. Harrah stroked his homer off Jim Perry in the first inning after the Rangers loaded the bases on singles by Dave Moates and Lenny Randle and a pass to Jim Spencer.
