Doc Medich and Steve Comer spaced eight hits as the Rangers posted a 4-2 decision over the Indians. Texas took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a single by Doug Flynn and made it 2-0 in the third on Mike Richardt's sacrifice fly. A single by Buddy Bell plated a fourth-inning tally and Richardt stroked a run-scoring single in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
