Thank you.

Is there any player around this time or team that you would like me to follow for you with stats updates (team info would be like what I have for the Phillies)?

An RBI single by Carl Yastrzemski in the first started the slugfest and that was followed by a bases loaded walk by Jerry Remy and Rice's grand slam in the second to build a 6-0 lead. Texas came back with 3 runs in the second on a 3-run HR by Andy Etchebarren and that was followed by a 2-run single by Jim Rice in the 7th to give Boston an 8-3 lead. The Rangers and Red Sox traded runs in the bottom of the 8th and top of the 9th, respectively, on a error by Tom Burgmeier and an RBI single by Jim Rice. Bob Stanley came on to start the bottom of the 9th and allowed 3 singles and a walk in 2/3 of an inning before giving way to Dick Drago. Drago allowed a 2-run single to Putnam before getting John Lowenstein to fly out to end the game.
