Picking up his first victory since June 10, Frank Tanana scattered 10 hits in pitching the Red Sox to a 4-0 whitewashing of the Indians. Jim Rice belted a solo homer for the Sox in the first inning and Boston added a pair of runs in the second on run-scoring singles by Rick Miller and Glenn Hoffman. Hoffman also stroked an RBI single in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
