Red Sox 13 (13-14), Tigers 9 (17-9)
The Red Sox dismantled the Tigers as they swept their doubleheader. This one was closer then it looked because of a five run eighth inning by the Tigers. Prior to that, the Red Sox were up 12-4.
Every Red Sox pretty much contributed in this one. Four Red Sox had at least two RBIs and four scored at least four runs. Jose Santiago, Carl Yastrzemski and Joe Foy all homered and all nine starters either scored at least one run or drove in one run.
Santiago picked up the win despite getting tagged for seven runs. He improved to 2-1.
Willie Horton led the offense for the Tigers. He homered twice. Norm Cash homered and drove in three runs and Bill Freehan hit a solo shot. Mickey Lolich was pulled in the second inning after getting tagged for five runs but the pen didn’t fare much better. Each of the four Tiger relievers gave up at least one run with Korince leading the way with five.
