Rangers 2, Red Sox 1 ARLINGTON, Texas Bob Brower, who made two sparkling defensive plays, drove in the tie-breaking run in the seventh inning to support the five-hit pitching of Jose Guzman as Texas nipped Boston. Twins 8, Angels 7 MINNEAPOLIS Gary Gaetti singled with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning to push Minnesota past California before the third-largest crowd in the Twins' 27-year history.

The winning rally off reliever Chuck Finley, 0-1, started with Mark Davidson's one-out single. Kirby Puckett singled and Kent Hrbek walked to load the bases for Gaetti, whose hit over a drawn-in outfield sent the "Cap Night" crowd of 51,717 home happy and snapped Minnesota's three-game losing streak. Jeff Reardon, 1-1, was the winner despite allowing California to tie the game My being battered for three runs in two innings. Redus opened the ninth with a leadoff double off loser Mark Ei-chhorn, 3-1. Daryl Boston sacrificed Redus to third, but Ivan Calderon bounced out to Eichhorn.

The Blue Jays then walked both Ron Hassey and Carlton Fisk to load the bases before reliever Tom Henke walked Walker. Indians 2, Yankees 1 CLEVELAND Scott Bailes scattered eight hits over 8V3 innings to outduel veteran Rick Rhoden as Cleveland edged New York. Bailes struck out six and walked fgur in his first decision of the year, yielding to Frank Wills after Wayne Tolleson singled with one out in the ninth. Rhoden, 2-2, yielded only four singles. The veteran right-hander was victimized by catcher Joel Skinner's throwing error in the fourth inning, allowing Cleveland to score the go-ahead run.

Athletics 7, Mariners 3 OAKLAND, Calif. Mark McGwire had a two-run homer and an RBI single and Stan Javier scored two runs as Oakland downed Seattle. Seattle starter Scott Bankhead, 3- Associated Press MILWAUKEE Big innings have become a specialty for the Milwaukee Brewers in an early- season rampage that has seen them win 15 of their first 16 games. "A lot of them have started with walks but today it started with Paul (Molitor) and Robin (Yount) getting rookie catcher B.J. Sur-hoff.

Surhoff three-run homer capped a five-run first inning Saturday that carried the Brewers to an 8-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. "When those two guys get on base, they create a lot of havoc," Surhoff said. Molitor and Yount stole bases and scored first-inning runs, but it was Surhoff long homer to right-center off Baltimore starter Ken Dixon, 1-2, that created the most trouble for the Orioles. Baltimore has lost nine of its last 12 games and six of the last seven. "The ball was up in the zone and I was sitting on it," said Surhoff, the Brewers' top choice in the 1985 free agent draft.

"I didn't jump at the ball, I just got a good piece of it and it went out." Bill Wegman, 2-0, scattered five hits over seven innings while Yount and Glenn Braggs drove in two runs each for Milwaukee, which began the season with a major league 13 straight wins. Tigers 13, Royals 2 DETROIT Alan Trammell, Dave Bergman, Darrell Evans and Tom Brobkens homered to support Jack Morris as Detroit bombed Kansas City, snapping a five-game Tigers' losing streak. Bergman and Billy Bean each had four hits for the Tigers. Morris, 2-2, allowed four hits, walked two and struck out four in seven innings. His only mistakes were solo homers to Bo Jackson, his and Jorge Orta.

White Sox 5, Jays 4 CHICAGO Greg Walker drew a two-out, bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth inning to force Gary Redus home with the winning run as Chicago edged Toronto.

PgtruleNY 57 3 10 TTS choice in June of 1985. He batted .187 in 43 games for Sarasota in 1985 and .268 in 54 games for Billings last year. "To me, this league is the same as Billings only it's a longer season," said Brown, 19, of Vernon, Fla. "I'm looking forward to a long season." Brown stole 11 bases at Sarasota and 21 at Bilfings. He has five in the early going this year and has set his goals in that direction.

"My goal is to steal a lot of bases," he said. "I want to steal at least 60 and I want to go higher. Marty Brown had 58 here last year. I want to get that many or more." LOCKHART IS off to a fast start with the bat and leads the Reds in hitting with a .314 average. Lockhart, 22, was Cincinnati's No.

11 pick last June out of Oral Roberts. After batting .347 with seven home runs in 53 games last summer at Billings he earned a late-season promotion to Cedar Rapids. He batted .190 in 13 games here. "I'm feeling real comfortable at the plate," said Lockhart. "I'm seeing the ball well and getting good pitches to hit." Lockhart has set two major goals for this season.

"I'd like to hit .300 and move up," he said. "I don't want to go to A-ball again next year. Moving up is the name of the game." Just ask Brian Funk. He'd tell you. last summer.

He struck out 38 batters in 52 innings of work. "Coming out of high school, pro ball was a big adjustment for me," Scudder said last Monday, after earning his first Midwest League victory, 2-0, over Peoria. "By the end of (last) year I felt good." Unlike many young prospects, Scudder did not go to the Florida Instructional League last fall, He attended college, at the Reds' expense, instead. "I had thrown a lot of innings in high school and at Billings so we didn't think it would be a good idea," he said. Scudder also had a light load this spring.

"I didn't pitch much in spring training," he said. "I felt good and just worked oh getting in shape." Scudder was anxious to get his professional career going. "I needed to get started in pro ball," he said. "I figured after four years at Texas I'd still start out in A-ball. This way, in a few years I might challenge for the 40-man roster." BROWN WAS Cincinnati's 15th-round draft fourth season of professional baseball.

But Brian Funk was not a happy man. Having spent the previous season at Class AA Waterbury, Funk was noticeably downcast about spending the summer in Cedar Rapids. He was a man with a dry, cynical sense of humor. "CedarRapids is where they send old dogs to die," Funk was fond of saying of Cincinnati's player assignment policy that found him here. For Funk, then 24, as for many players, Cedar Rapids was the end of the line.

He was released after that season. But Cedar Rapids has been a beginning for just as, many players. Three players that appear to have bright futures on this year's team are right-handed pitcher Scott Scudder, right fielder Don Brown and infielder Keith Lockhart. SCUDDER WAS Cincinnati's No. 1 draft choice last June, the 17th selection overall.

Scudder, a 19-year-old native of Blossom, Texas, signed a letter of intent to attend the University of Texas prior to last June's draft but opted for the professional baseball route insiead.

MADISON, Wis. Vince Teix-eira was a one-man wrecking crew Saturday for the Madison Muskies in their 6-2 Midwest League baseball win over Cedar Rapids. The two teams meet here again today for the rubber match of the three-game series. Teixeira, the Oakland A's ninth-round draft choice last June out of Cal-Santa Barbara, rapped three hits in four trips to the plate and drove in three runs. Cedar Rapids took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on Mike Vincent's two-out run-scoring single.
