Tigers Suffer 8-4 Loss to Red Sox
Rick Baylor drove in 4 runs to help Boston hand Detroit a loss. The final score was 8-4. Baylor had 2 singles and 1 triple for the Red Sox. He also scored 1 run. Picking up the win was Steve Johnson. He went 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. The right--hander struck out 5 and walked 3. Rich Friesz closed the door for Boston, picking up his 4th save of the year.

In the top of the first, Boston first baseman Mike McMillen had a run-producing at-bat. Facing Detroit hurler Bill Whittaker, McMillen hit a sacrifice fly. That made the score 2-0, Boston. For the day, McMillen went 1-3 with a double and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Baylor.

The second-place Red Sox have won 5 in a row.
