Bosox Win, 9-2

Carl Yastrzemski drove in four runs with three home runs and Jim Rice pounded a three-run shot to lead the Red Sox to a 9-2 victory over the Tigers last night.

Fergie Jenkins gave up three extra-base hits and two runs in a shaky first, but then settled down to cruise to his third win of the young season.

Yastrzemski entered the contest batting .198, but put the Sox ahead with a two-run clout in the fourth and two solo shots later. He added a single in the seventh and came all the way home on a groundout followed by a throwing error.
