Paced by Dave Stapleton's five hits, the Red Sox ended their five-game losing skein with a 9-5 victory over the Indians. The Red Sox snapped a 3-3 tie in the fourth inning on RBI singles by Stapleton and Jim Rice and added another run in the fifth on a scoring single by Julio Valdez. Tony Perez drilled a two-run double in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
