Scattering seven hits, Jack Morris pitched the Tigers to a 5-1 triumph over the Red Sox. The Tigers got three runs in the first inning when Ron LeFlore singled, Tom Brookens cracked a homer and, one out later, Champ Summers also drilled a round-tripper. LeFlore added a circuit clout in the second. [The Sporting News]
