Two homers by Toby Harrah, who knocked in five runs, highlighted a 17-hit attack that carried the Rangers to a 12-7 thumping of the Red Sox. Harrah had a solo blast in the second inning and connected with two on base in the seventh. The Rangers also got solo homers from Al Oliver, Bobby Bonds and Juan Beniquez. Oliver had four hits and drove in two runs with singles. [The Sporting News]
