Atoning for his third-inning error that gave the A's their run, Butch Hobson socked a three-run homer to trigger a five-run ninth inning as the Red Sox won, 6-1. Jim Rice and pinch-hitter Dwight Evans drew one-out walks off reliever Dave Hamilton before Hobson's homer broke the 1-1 tie. [The Sporting News]
