The Texas Rangers nipped the Portland Beavers 4 to 3 at Tiger Stadium in a hard fought contest.
Stan Thomas(1-0) earned the victory with a fine relief performance. No one got on base in his perfect 1/3 of an inning. Portland threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.
Thomas got help from Mike Garman who was credited with his 2nd save. Jerry Koosman(0-1) was the losing pitcher. He allowed 7 hits and 4 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings.
'We didn't get the key hits when we needed them' Keith Bessinger said. 'We did what we could, we just didn't pull out the win. What can you say?'
