Buddy Bell hit two homers, one of them with the bases loaded, and also doubled to drive in a total of six runs as the Indians walloped the Red Sox, 12-2. Bell hit his jackpot wallop off Steve Barr in the second inning when the Indians piled up five runs, all unearned as the result of an error by Denny Doyle with two out. Bell followed with a solo swat off Jim Burton in the fourth and doubled in the eighth for his sixth RBI of the game. George Hendrick also homered for the Indians. [The Sporting News]
