Steve Arlin turned in his first complete game in the A. L. and George Hendrick batted in four runs to lead the Indians to a 9-2 victory over the Red Sox. The Indians decided the outcome with four runs off Rick Wise in the second inning. Charlie Spikes, leading off, was hit by a pitch. After stopping at second on a single by Oscar Gamble, Spikes scored when Leron Lee doubled. Hendrick followed with a three-run homer. John Lowenstein added to the Indians' total with a round-tripper in the third. Hendrick got his fourth RBI with a single in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
