Pinch-hitting, Cliff Johnson came through with a three-run homer in the eighth inning to lift the Indians to a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox. Joe Charboneau and Rick Manning hit back-to-back singles to start the Indians' rally. After Dell Alston came in to run for Manning, Johnson batted for Jerry Dybzinski and delivered his circuit clout.
