After the Angels rallied for three runs in the seventh inning to tie the score, Jerry Remy knocked in two teammates with a single in the ninth to beat the Rangers, 6-4. The Angels' tallies in the seventh counted on two walks, a triple by Dan Briggs and single by Bill Melton. Andy Etchebarren singled with one away in the ninth and stopped at third on a double by Ron Jackson. Dave Collins struck out before Remy came through with his clutch single. [The Sporting News]
