Errors by Gary Sutherland and Vern Ruhle that resulted in two unearned runs forced the Tigers to travel 10 innings before beating the Red Sox, 3-2. Willie Horton accounted for the first two Tiger tallies with singles, sending Ron LeFlore across the plate in the first and third innings.

In the 10th, Tom Veryzer singled and moved up on a sacrifice by Aurelio Rodriguez. After LeFlore flied out, Sutherland made up for his error with a single that drove in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
