Red Sox 9 (45-40), Tigers 5 (45-40)
The Tigers lost their sixth straight game, this time at the hands of the Boston Red Sox. A five run third inning wasn’t enough for Boston as they piled on three more runs in the fourth to make for a wicked blowout.
Tony Conigliaro hit a three run shot and Carl Yastrzemski hit a two run homerun to power the Red Sox to the win. Reggie Smith finished with three hits and two runs while Mike Ryan and Bucky Brandon both scored twice.
Willie Horton and Mickey Stanley homered for the Tigers. Jim Northrup singled, drew a walk and scored twice in the loss.
Brandon picked up the win despite going only 5 1/3 innings. He gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts. Joe Sparma dropped to 9-3 for the Tigers and he gave up five runs on four hits with two strikeouts in only three innings of work.
