| Pilgrims Tag Rangers with 7-2 Loss | Boston right-hander Al Orth pitched his team to victory over the Texas Rangers at Arlington Stadium. The final score was 7-2. The winning pitcher was Orth, now 1-0. He tossed 6 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 2. The win gives Boston a record of 4-3.
It could have been a different outcome for Boston, had it not been for Josh Hamilton, the 1996 Topps Rookie of the Year Award winner . Hamilton contributed a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put Boston up, 5-2.
"I felt we were ready to go," said Boston manager Mike Wallace. "Our pregame was pretty good."
