Bill Freehan capped an eight-run outburst in the ninth inning with a grand-slam homer to power the Tigers to an 8-4 victory over the Red Sox. The Tigers bunched four hits, a walk and an error for their first four runs, two scoring on a double by Dick McAuliffe, before Freehan came to the plate and whacked his homer.
