A run-scoring single by Jeff Burroughs in the ninth inning gave the Rangers a 5-4 victory over the Twins. Jim Sundberg drove in three of the Rangers' first four runs with a pair of singles. After the Twins tied the score in the top half of the ninth with a double by Steve Brye and single by Steve Braun, Gene Clines led off with a single for the Rangers and Danny Thompson sacrificed. Following an intentional pass to Mike Hargrove, Burroughs ended the game with his single.
