Jon Matlack, who had been shelled for 12 runs in his first two starts, handcuffed the Yankees on four hits to lead the Rangers past New York, 4-0. The veteran southpaw pitched out of a bases-loaded situation in the third inning and retired 15 straight batters from the fourth to the ninth. Texas scored in the first inning on back-to-back doubles by Mickey Rivers and Al Oliver and picked up another two runs in the third with the aid of loose Yankees fielding.
