Backed by four homers, Gaylord Perry pitched the Rangers to a 9-4 victory over the Twins. Toby Harrah, Jeff Burroughs and Tom Grieve each connected with the bases empty, but two men were aboard when Jim Fregosi hit for the circuit in the ninth to clinch the Rangers' victory. Twins' scoring included a two-run homer by Danny Thompson. [The Sporting News]
