The Rangers tied their club record for most hits in a game with 19 while rolling over the Orioles, 11-0. Every batter in the Rangers' lineup, except for Jim Sundberg, joined in the attack. Juan Beniquez rapped four hits and Toby Harrah, Gene Clines and Mike Hargrove collected three apiece. Harrah and Roy Howell smashed homers. Jim Umbarger pitched the shutout on a six-hitter as the Rangers ended their string of eight consecutive losses to the Orioles. [The Sporting News]
