A single by John Kennedy, who had only one hit in 21 previous times at bat, drove in the tie-breaking run in the sixth inning to give the Red Sox a 4-3 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Tigers came back to win the second game, 7-2. In the opener, singles by Reggie Smith and Rico Petrocelli for the Red Sox in the sixth knocked out Chuck Seelbach and brought in Joe Coleman for his first relief appearance of the season. Coleman retired the next two batters, but Kennedy dropped a single down the right field line to drive in Smith with the winning run.
