After falling behind by four runs, the Rangers uncorked a four-homer barrage, capping their attack with a round-tripper by Willie Montanez in the 11th inning, to defeat the Red Sox, 7-6. The Rangers pulled within one run at 5-4, when Richie Zisk and Eric Soderholm hit for the circuit in the seventh, Soderholm's smash coming with a man on base.
