Boston, MA- Joe Sparma endured another tough start, surrendering three runs in the first two innings, and the Boston Red Sox went on to beat the Tigers, 6-3, at Fenway Park.

Sparma (0-4, 6.63 ERA) wasn't helped by his defense, as the Red Sox scored two unearned runs during the right-hander's 6.2 innings of work.

Joe Foy smacked a solo homer in the seventh to make the score 5-3, Boston. The Red Sox added an unearned run later in the inning.

George Scott's double and a bases loaded walk accounted for two Boston runs in the first inning.

Don Wert (4-for-4) and Al Kaline (three hits) did the most damage for the Tigers (13-11).

Dennis Bennett picked up the win for Boston, hurling six innings. John Wyatt pitched two scoreless frames, and Sparky Lyle pitched 2/3 inning in the ninth before giving way to Dan Osinski, who coaxed a ground ball from Bill Freehan with the bases loaded to end the game.

The teams, having split the first two games of this series, play a doubleheader on Sunday.
