The Red Sox retained their 3½-game lead over the Orioles in the East Division by coming from behind with a two-run double by Denny Doyle in the ninth inning to defeat the Tigers, 6-5. Rick Miller drew a walk to open the rally. An error then put the Tigers in the hole when Gary Sutherland dropped a pop fly by Rico Petrocelli.
