Snapping their five-game losing streak, the Indians scalped the Red Sox, 4-3. The score was 1-1 going into the fifth inning when the Tribe erupted for three runs. A double by Tom Veryzer and double by Bobby Bonds plated the first tally and Toby Harrah then clouted a two-run homer. [The Sporting News]
