A home run by Fred Lynn with one out in the 10th inning lifted the Red Sox past the White Sox, 7-6. Lynn's blast came on Jim Willoughby's first offering to the Red Sox outfielder. The White Sox tied the contest in the ninth on a leadoff homer by Bill Nahorodny, but missed a chance to win the game later in that same inning when Henry Cruz, attempting to score on a single to right by Jorge Orta, was thrown out at the plate on a relay from shortstop Rick Burleson.
