Steve Kemp and Alan Trammell knocked in two runs apiece to lead the Tigers to an 8-5 victory over the Red Sox. The Tigers scored in their first turn at bat when Lou Whitaker walked, moved to third on a double by Kirk Gibson and scored on a sacrifice fly by Kemp.

Consecutive singles by Lance Parrish, John Wockenfuss, Trammell and Whitaker and Kemp's second sacrifice fly accounted for three runs in the second inning. Trammell connected for a solo round-tripper in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
