After losing his first three starts, Dan Schatzeder picked up his first A.L. victory when the Tigers defeated the Red Sox, 11-3. Steve Kemp hit a two-run homer for the Tigers in the first inning and walked with the bases loaded to add another RBI when the Tigers erupted for seven runs in the fifth. Dennis Eckersley, the Red Sox loser, was tossed out of the game by umpire Jim McKean for use of abusive language. [The Sporting News]
