Left fielder Rusty Greer had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at Jacobs Field where the Texas Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 3 to 1.

Texas scored 2 runs in the 7th inning. Dean Palmer opened up the inning
nicely when he lashed a single. Ivan Rodriguez stepped into the batter's box and he grounded into a double play. Julio Franco then drew a walk. Toby Harrah followed and he drew a walk as well. Greer stepped into the box and doubled to break the 1-1 tie.

Cleveland threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short against Jeff Russell. In addition, Manny Ramirez strained his side muscle lining out in the second inning and was placed on the 15 day diasbled list after the game.

Jeff Zimmerman(1-0) went 1 and 1/3 innings allowing no runs for the victory in relief. Russell was credited with his 2nd save. Bob Lemon(0-1) absorbed the loss for Cleveland.
