The Rangers were shorthanded in this game as Gary Ward and Curtis Wilkerson were both injured. The short bench and weak bats could not overcome Mike Boddicker, who was simply dealing. He tossed a shutout while only surrendering three hits and two walks. At one point he retired 15 straight Rangers. Todd Cruz went three for four for the O's, including a two run homer.
