Although ending their string of 29 consecutive scoreless innings, the Tigers nevertheless lost to the Red Sox, 5-3. After Rick Burleson hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox in the fifth inning, the Tigers finally ended their drouth with the tying tallies in the eighth, but the Red Sox broke away in the ninth, scoring their two-run winning margin on a single by Rick Miller with the bases loaded.
