The Red Sox smashed three homers, bringing their club total to 100 for the season, and defeated the Tigers, 6-4, to complete a sweep of the five-game series. Denny Doyle, hitting safely in his 21st straight game, started the Red Sox scoring with a two-run drive in the first inning. Fred Lynn batted in a run with a double in the third before the Tigers countered with a two-run homer by Aurelio Rodriguez in the fourth.

After Rick Burleson made it 4-2 with a round-tripper in the seventh, the Tigers tied the score with a two-run single by Ben Oglivie in the eighth. Cecil Cooper broke the deadlock with a circuit clout in the home half and another run followed to insure the Red Sox victory on a pass to Burleson, an infield out and single by Doyle.
