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?'
