Chris Codiroli had a nightmare start to the game in this one. Jack Perconte and Phil Bradley both singled, and then Alvin Davis crushed a home run to plate all three. It didn't get any better for Codiroli, because he gave up a solo homer to Gorman Thomas in the fourth, followed by another three run bomb by Ken Phelps.

Game #378 - Boston Red Sox, 3 @ Texas Rangers, 4
Speaking of three run homers... In the top of the third Tony Armas deposited a ball over the outfield fence to score three off of Frank Tanana and give Boston a 3-0 lead. But the Rangers scraped two from Al Nipper in the fourth inning. Wayne Tolleson singled home Bobby Jones and Ned Yost hit a sacrifice fly to score Billy Sample. The Rangers tied the game in the seventh when Mickey Rivers reached on a Jackie Gutierrez error. Two batters later Buddy Bell doubled him home.
The score was still tied heading into the bottom of ninth. George Wright was brought in to pinch-hit for Yost and singled off of Steve Crawford. Crawford struck out Rivers for the first out of the inning, but Gary Ward singled too to move Wright to second. Bell then grounded out to third, but both runners advanced, leaving Wright 90 feet from home plate. That's when Larry Parrish knocked him home - WALK-OFF SINGLE!!!
