Batting only .207 going into the game, Toby Harrah drove in three runs with a pair of singles as the Rangers posted a 6-3 victory to disappoint the Angels' largest crowd of the season, 41,632. Harrah also starred defensively at second base, starting three double plays. Harrah batted in one of the Rangers' two runs in the first inning and then broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run single in the fifth. Richie Zisk homered in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
