In addition to pitching a four-hitter, Mike Nagy rapped a triple and a single, scoring two runs, to lead the Red Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Tigers. After the Tigers picked up their tally in the second inning, Tony Conigliaro tied the game with a homer in the fourth. Nagy tripled in the fifth and counted on a single by Mike Andrews. A single by George Thomas, pass to Carl Yastrzemski and forceout by Conigliaro added another run in the stanza. Nagy hit his single in the seventh and subsequently crossed the plate on a single by Yastrzemski. [The Sporting News]
