Five homers, including consecutive inside-the-park blows by Toby Harrah and Bump Wills in the seventh inning, powered the Rangers to an 8-2 victory over the Yankees. Mike Hargrove, Wills and Bert Campaneris whacked pitches out of the park and Wills batted in another run with a single for a 4-2 lead going into the seventh. Then, with two men on base, Harrah smashed a drive against the right field wall. When Lou Piniella crashed into the fence trying for the catch, the ball bounced halfway back to the infield as Harrah circled the bases.
