Dick McAuliffe and Mickey Stanley batted in three runs apiece to account for the Tigers' scoring in a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox. Two of Stanley's RBIs came on a homer in the fifth inning. After Carl Yastrzemski hit a round-tripper for the Red Sox to break a 4-4 tie in the seventh, Dalton Jones walked in the ninth and McAuliffe won the game with a homer. [The Sporting News]
