Relieving for the third straight day, John Hiller suffered his second consecutive defeat when the Red Sox scored in the 10th inning to beat the Tigers, 4-3. The Tigers' runs came on a homer by Willie Horton in the first. The Red Sox had a two-run drive by Bernie Carbo in the sixth and tied the score when Carlton Fisk doubled off Lerrin LaGrow in the eighth and Dwight Evans greeted the arrival of Hiller with a run-scoring single. In the 10th, Carl Yastrzemski and Rico Petrocelli singled and, with two out, Dick McAuliffe doubled to drive in Yastrzemski and beat his former teammates. [The Sporting News]
