In a devastating display of power, Fred Lynn batted in 10 runs with three homers and a triple to pace the Red Sox to a 15-1 victory over the Tigers. The rookie outfielder hit a two-run homer in the first inning, a three-run blast in the second and two-run triple in the third. After beating out an infield single in the eighth, Lynn climaxed his slugging show with a three-run homer in the ninth.
