Making the first start of his major league career, Vern Ruhle allowed only two hits in seven innings before giving way to John Hiller, who completed the Tigers' 3-1 victory over the Red Sox. Fred Lynn collected both hits off Ruhle and accounted for the Red Sox run with a homer in the second inning.
