A pair of homers by Toby Harrah sparked the Indians to a 4-1 triumph over the Red Sox. His first blast came in the second inning after a single by Bo Diaz and staked the Tribe to a 2-0 lead. Harrah walked in the fourth and scored on a single by Tom Veryzer, and led off the sixth with his second round-tripper. [The Sporting News]
