Rico Petrocelli batted in both runs to enable the Red Sox to edge the Tigers, 2-1. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on a single by Tom Veryzer, double by Ben Oglivie and sacrifice fly by Jason Thompson, but Petrocelli singled to drive in Carl Yastrzemski with the tying tally in the home half. Then in the ninth, Bobby Darwin doubled and gave way to pinch-runner Rick Miller, who advanced to third on a long fly by Yastrzemski to right field and scored the winning run on Petrocelli's fly to center field.
