Jim Northrup definitely got it done for the Tigers. He went two for three with a homerun and five RBIs. Dick McAuliffe also homered and he scored three times in the game.
Reggie Smith drove in two of the three Red Sox’ runs and finished with two hits. Mike Ryan hit a solo shot in the third inning and that was the extent of the Red Sox offense.
