. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Rangers were on the verge of being shut out, but Toby Harrah came through with a three-run homer in the ninth inning to beat the Mariners, 3-1. Gary Wheelock, bidding for his third straight victory, gave up a one-out single by Claudell Washington in the ninth but seemed to have the game in hand when Mike Hargrove forced Washington. However, the rookie then walked Ken Henderson before serving his gopher pitch to Harrah. [The Sporting News]
