A single by Tom Veryzer in the ninth inning for his fourth hit of the game drove in Paul Dade and gave the Indians a 10-9 victory over the Red Sox. Rick Manning batted in four runs for the winners, including two with a single in the seventh, when the Indians scored four times to take a 9-5 lead.

The Red Sox rallied to tie the score in the ninth. Jim Rice, who accounted for five RBIs, drove in a pair with a double and Carl Yastrzemski followed with a homer to knot the count. In the Indians' half, Dade led off with a pinch-single, Duane Kuiper sacrificed and Veryzer capped his big night with the game-winning hit. [The Sporting News]
