Unleashing a 16-hit bombardment, the Indians defeated the Rangers, 7-2. The Tribe scored in the third inning when Jorge Orta singled, raced to third on a single by Mike Hargrove and tallied on a wild pitch. Rick Manning stroked an RBI single in the fourth, a run-scoring double by Joe Charboneau keyed a two-run fifth, Orta rapped a run-scoring double in the sixth and Alan Bannister had an RBI single in the seventh.
