Two-run homers by Reggie Smith and Rico Petrocelli carried the Red Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Tigers. Mike Andrews singled ahead of Smith's sock in the first inning. Smith singled in the third and scored on a double by Carl Yastrzemski before Petrocelli poked his homer. Jim Price hit for the circuit with a man on base in the sixth to produce the Tigers' tallies.
