After pinch-hitting in the ninth inning, John Lowenstein remained in the game and smashed a two-run homer with two out in the 12th to give the Rangers a 4-3 victory over the Indians. The Rangers were on the verge of defeat in the 10th when Ted Cox homered to put the Indians ahead, 2-1, but a single by Mike Jorgensen, safe bunt by Toby Harrah, sacrifice by Juan Beniquez and sacrifice fly by Mike Hargrove tied the score. The Indians took the lead again in the 12th on a run-scoring double by Gary Alexander before the Rangers rallied to win when Beniquez singled and Lowenstein hit his homer.
