Detroit Gets 8-3 Win Against Red Sox
The Detroit Tigers racked up a win at Fenway Park, bumping off the Boston Red Sox, 8-3. Len Barker, who started for Detroit, pitched effectively for his team. Barker got the win, improving to 15-12. He allowed 11 hits and walked 1 over 9 innings. Barker allowed 3 runs. Detroit is in first place in the American League East Division with a record of 95-68.

The win was a team effort for Detroit. Third Baseman Graig Nettles was among the key contributors. In the top of the second, he put his team in front, 2-0, when he hit a 2-run single.

"I'll be honest," said Barker. "I was running on fumes at the end."
