Charlie Hough went the distance on a six-hitter as the Rangers prevailed over the Royals, 3-1 in 12 innings. The score was 1-1 when Leon Roberts opened the 12th with a single and then beat the throw to second on a sacrifice bunt by Mario Mendoza. After a single by Johnny Grubb loaded the bases, Randy Bass delivered a sacrifice fly and George Wright provided insurance with a run-scoring single. [The Sporting News]
