Unlike his start against the Tigers in Boston, when the Bengals roughed him up for eight runs in four innings, Lonborg was magnificent on Wednesday, though he walked four. He struck out nine Tigers hitters.
The Red Sox have taken the first two games of the series, which concludes on Thursday.
Carl Yastrzemski had a home run and three RBI, and light-hitting Mike Andrews and Mike Ryan slugged back-to-back homers in the eighth inning to help salt the game away.
The Red Sox rapped out 14 hits, while meanwhile, the Tigers (18-16) found it tough to make good contact against Lonborg all game.
Norm Cash's struggles continued. His latest 0-for-4 game shoved his batting average below .200 (.196).
Denny McLain (3-4) took the loss for the Tigers. McLain went 6.2 innings, surrendering four runs on eight hits.
Larry Sherry's latest bad relief outing skyrocketed his ERA to 11.30.
