Boog Powell, suffering through the worst season of his 15-year major league career with only 18 previous RBIs to his credit, broke loose with two homers and a single, driving in five runs, to lead the Indians to a 7-5 victory over the Rangers. Powell hit his first homer of the game after a pass to Rico Carty to help the Indians take a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning.
