The Rangers came from behind to post a 5-4 decision over the Mariners. With two out and the score tied, 4-4, in the ninth inning, Mike Hargrove walked and was replaced by pinch-runner Toby Harrah, who stole second. A double by Al Oliver down the left field foul line scored Harrah. Texas tied the score in the eighth on a steal of home by pinch-runner Bobby Thompson.
