Gil Kubski, who drove in a run with a single in a ninth-inning rally that tied the score, came through with the tie-breaking single in the 10th when the Angels counted twice to defeat the Rangers, 6-4. After Kubski's single in the ninth, pinch-hitter Rick Miller drove in two runs with a single to knot the count.

Then in 10th, Bobby Grich drew a walk and moved to second on a passed ball. After an intentional pass to Rod Carew, Kubski snapped the tie with a single. Carney Lansford followed with a double for his fourth hit of the game to drive in Carew with an insurance run. [The Sporting News]
