Back-to-back homers by Tom Grieve and Roy Howell off Ed Figueroa in the seventh inning lifted the Rangers to a 2-1 victory over the Angels behind the two-hit pitching of Gaylord Perry. The Angels' run scored in the first on a walk to Morris Nettles, a sacrifice, infield hit by Jerry Remy and infield out by Adrian Garrett. Nettles singled in the third for the Angels' other safety.
