Rangers Lose After Stein Error In 12th Inning
Bill Stein committed a throwing error in the bottom of the 12th, allowing two runs to score and giving the Boston Red Sox a 6-5 comeback win over the Texas Rangers. Dwight Evans started the 12th with a single, and Wade Boggs and Carney Lansford produced miscues that fueled the rally. Stein had earlier tied the game with a bases loaded single in the top of the inning, capping a Rangers surge that had based loaded on a Billy Sample double and a walk.
