Pete Fox had seven RBI and the Tigers won a crazy game, despite enduring a seven-run inning by Boston in blowing an 11-4 lead. The Tigers had nine runs and 14 hits after three innings, but the Red Sox matched Detroit's offense. The teams were separated by one run and one hit after 29 runs and 43 hits had stained the scorecard. Fox had four hits in gathering his seven RBI. In the 17 half innings played, at least one run was scored in all but seven of them. Al Benton earned the win in relief, and he has the unusual statistic of being 4-0 despite an ERA of 9.30 on the season. The Tigers trailed, 12-11 in the seventh inning until Fox delivered a bases loaded double that scored all three runners, capping a four-run uprising.
TIGERS: 51-47; Home: 25-26; Away: 26-21
