Rick Burleson, who hit a homer in the fifth inning, also drove in a run with a two-out single in the ninth to bring the Red Sox a 4-3 victory over the Angels. A two-run homer by Tommy Davis in the top of the ninth tied the score before the Red Sox put over the winning marker in their half on a walk to Doug Griffin, a passed ball and Burleson's single.
