Homers by Fred Lynn and Cecil Cooper enabled Fergie Jenkins to pitch the Red Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Tigers. Jason Thompson homered for the Tigers in the fourth inning to tie the score at 1-1, but Lynn broke the deadlock with his circuit clout in the fifth. Then in the sixth, after Jim Rice singled, Cooper clinched the verdict with his round-tripper.
