A grand slam by Leroy Stanton in 11th inning for his first homer of the season powered the Angels to a 7-3 victory over the Rangers. Terry Humphrey singled and moved around to third on a sacrifice and infield out before the Rangers decided to pass Jerry Remy and Bobby Bonds intentionally, but their hopes of setting up a forceout at the plate were shattered with Stanton's smash off Steve Foucault.
