Tim Foli had 4 hits at Tiger Stadium as the Texas Rangers beat the Portland Beavers by the count of 8 to 6.
Portland fell behind quickly as the Texas offense came through in the first inning plating one baserunner. After two were out Mike Hargrove single-handedly provided the offense with a solo home run. Thurman Munson followed next and he drew a walk. Texas had 15 hits for the game and Portland had 8.
The victory was credited to Doc Medich(1-0) who went 5 and 1/3 innings, allowing 5 runs. Medich got help from Roger Moret who earned his 1st save. Ken Holtzman(0-1) was the losing pitcher. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 12 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.
'I was a little good, a little bad and a little ugly.' said Medich, 'I was just giving us a chance to win.'
